We have a great new tool for these decks against the white-based control decks. It has functionality against black as well.
Why is it great? Because we can sack cards like [scryfall]Rekindling Phoenix[/scryfall] when they are about to get hit with [scryfall]Seal Away[/scryfall], [scryfall]Cast Out[/scryfall], [scryfall]Vraska’s Contempt[/scryfall] or [scryfall]Settle the Wreckage[/scryfall]. It can actually do a lot more than that. How about the synergy with [scryfall]Kari Zev, Skyship Raider[/scryfall]? Just give Ragavan the boot at end of combat and that’s an extra card (sort of) for one mana. In a right deck, just sacking creatures from under a removal spell is just good as well.
