Pick rating

4.2WeakRank 160 of 188

A good playable, but is sometimes cut (4.2/10).

Why. A three-mana black sorcery: Surveil 2, then draw two cards and lose 2 life. It sorts your library and fills the graveyard at the same time.

Risks. It does nothing on the battlefield: a turn without development, and 2 life less. It is worse in a deck already under pressure.

In the draft. A decent card-draw tool for a black control deck, especially with a graveyard that matters. Take it after removal and creatures.
