Also works well with Underworld Dreams + Megrim/Liliana's Caress deck to replenish your opponent's hand, then Mind Rot (or equivalent).

Want to know the truth? When this made its first appearance, I used x4 in a deck with Megrim and Liliana Vess. I only used this card to refill my opponents hand after they had no hand left, and then make them discard it.
I thought this was an amazing card just for that! It won me tons of games! Then when I started playing online, I realized everyone was using it on themselves on turn 2. I was kind of surprised, but at least I wasn't using this when my opponent had a hand full of cards already! Lol

No I just confirmed it with an ORC. You actually have to make them discard a card for them to take damage with megrim. "That person is pretty misinformed" ~ORC Calliope
Edit: ORCs are > Judges because they have access to the current official rules and never tell you the wrong thing. I have seen plenty of judges give false information out in my time.
@Blackhawk: ORC is the WotC employees on Magic the Gathering Online to help you out wit... (see all)

Great card. In the early game, give yourself some card advantage. In the very late game, kill your opponent. And all for 2 mana.
4.5/5
@atemu1234: No that's ridiculous. If there are no cards to discard, you can't be forced to discard. It's like saying if you have 1 life, you can pay 7 life to activate Griselbrand's ability.

@thewrathofshane Did you know they can discard cards while they have no cards in their hand
Edit: Actually asked a judge. You can. No cards go to the graveyard, but it still activates things like Megrim's ability.

Mono black might be back with this, Murder, Vampire Knighthawk and Nocturnus!

Looks like this set is trying to make up for how bad Avacyn Restored was for black. Vey happy to see this back.

Sign in Blood is a perfect encapsulation of black flavor.

Awesome card. Maybe not the best black card draw, but it does everything it needs to well.
I miss the M10 flavor text though, evil as hell.
And I've definitely scored a kill or two with it.

This is awesome card advantage. You can play it early, and since black has plenty of ways to gain life, maim, dismember, mutilate, murder and obliterate, the 2 life is nothing compared to the 2 cards.
Not to mention you can play it on your opponent for that last 2 damage! I will *never* forget the look on my friend's face when I topdecked THIS and killed him with it during a limited match!

Night's Whisper works in more decks but doesn't allow for an opponent finisher.
