What is there to say that hasn't already been
said about this card? It shaped two formats for
a long time. It's referenced a lot when
referring to knew cards. It caused some
banned/restricted issues for R&D. And honestly,
black has not had any card drawing mechanic
that's even close to this. Necropotence is the
standard to which so many cards are compared and
it probably won't be matched for a long time.
Constructed: 4.5

This one was before my time. But it's FAMOUS,
for Pete's sake. This was THE card to beat in
Magic's early days. The Umezawa's Jitte of its
time. Being able to fill your hand for a mere 1
life per card, as often as you want, means you
can get yourself out of any problem. And of
course black decks are used to paying life for
other reources.

One of the highly used cards of old school
magic. Yes, you're losing life, but you can draw
extra cards and try to get to what you need, and
card advantage is often huge in Magic.
