The Darkest Hall Of All
Black has historically been my favorite color, in part because of the risks it takes. It can be exhilarating to play a mono-black, watch a horrific opposing enchantment like Subversion come out, and realize you have a race on your hands.
The past year has been pretty good to black, from a multiplayer perspective. Two new cards from the last three sets are in the Top Ten, and two more in the Top 20. What placed where? Click here to find out. For those who just want to skim, here are the new entries:
Death Cloud
Endless Whispers
Horobi, Death’s Wail
Kokusho, the Evening Star
Mephidross Vampire
Myojin of Night’s Reach
Nezumi Graverobber
Seizan, Perverter of Truth
In addition, Hideous Laughter and Night of Souls’ Betrayal made the list under similar cards (to Bane of the Living and Ascendant Evincar, respectively).
I’ve talked about most of these cards by now – and what I haven’t discussed, other writers have explored quite well (e.g., Horobi, Death’s Wail). It’s still worth noting that Seizan, Perverter of Truth continues the revived tradition Endless Whispers began: black cards with a strong "pigeon" element. I always appreciated the way cards like Living Death and Tombstone Stairwell proposed benefits to everyone while not necessarily helping them, and it feels very flavorful for black. I hope Wizards continues to explore cards that share black’s perverse outlook on the game.

多人数戦カードの有力カードを色事にまとめた記事です。この週の記事では黒・青・緑を取り扱っています。
まずは黒です。《死者の嘆き、崩老卑》《夜の星、黒瘴》《夜陰明神》《鼠の墓荒らし》《真実を捻じ曲げるもの、逝斬》《忌まわしい笑い》《魂の裏切りの夜》などのカードが挙げられています。黒らしく、ハンデスや除去が揃っています。
中でも有名なのは《夜の星、黒瘴》でしょう。一対一の戦いでさえ、「状況を選ばない」「決定打になりえる」ドレインが非常に強力です。そして、「各対戦相手」とあるため、多人数戦では尚のことです。
その強さは、一時期、統率者戦で禁止カードとなっていたことからもわかるでしょう。
