First, the champion, playing Mono-Black Necro Control: Creatures (7) Lands (23) Spells (30) 4 Nevinyrral's Disk 1 Hymn to Tourach 4 Necropotence 1 Ivory Tower 4 Dark Ritual 4 Drain Life 3 Stupor 2 Mind Warp 3 Contagion 1 Serrated Arrows 2 Demonic Consultation 1 Zuran Orb Sideboard Then, in third place, representing the aggro decks of the format, Brian Hackers Bad Moon Necro: Creatures (19) Lands (21) Spells (20) And then finally carrying on the fine tradition of B/r Necro-decks, Chris Pikula, who actually increased the red presence in the deck with Incinerates and multiple maindeck Shatters (Winter Orb, Howling Mine, Serrated Arrows, even Black Vise, Ivory Tower, and Zuran Orb were worthy targets)
The two collectors guides that Ive spent time with have helped fill the knowledge gaps for me, given that I only returned to Lorcana with Winterspell (set 11), having initially bought into the hype of The First Chapter when the game launched in 2023
During one particularly gruelling match using the Theros: Beyond Death set on Magic: The Gathering Arena, I was shocked when my White-based opponent placed the Shatter the Sky spell down
That card was Sphinxs Revelation, which went on to largely define Standard for two years, as well as dominate Block Constructed for Return to Ravnica
