![]() ![]() Victim of Night might be an overall better card but double Black puts a strain on both your manabase and life total. However, as I said earlier, cheap interaction in key in Modern. Smother is probably the most controversial card in the deck, and understandably so. Cryptic Command is a great insurance plan since it can stop almost anything in the format from hitting the battlefield, and can do a great impression of Subjugator Angel if needed. Lingering Souls and Snapcaster Mage are mostly there to buy time or remove a creature, but can also bring the beats when called upon. ![]() Cryptic Command, Snapcaster Mage and Lingering Souls offer great rates and are at least 2-for-1’s, which is exactly what this deck wants. ![]() It also helps you to dig for lands, removal or key sideboard cards.
