Why is dark confidant so high? Is disrupting people's draw realy that big of a problem? Is extra drawing realy that broken?


It cashes in a resource (life) for card advantage

I understand what the point of it is, but over $70? I disagree.

It's a huge modern staple. Plain and simple. You run in Modern, you should probably be running this guy.  Staples always get really high.

Being is probably the biggest reason. There's such a lack of good draw in compared to , the most popular color in eternal formats. I mean necropotence is banned for a reason.

That would be amazing. It's crazy how it's still a $6 card and you can only play it in casual decks.

Edit: Never mind. Just saw that it's legal in EDH. Which is ridiculous.

You make an EXCELLENT point here. I did not think about it that way. +1 for finally making me understand why that card is a staple.

More like $75, actually!

It's interesting to me to see how Dark Confidant is worth the same from both editions. I personally believe the original art is much, much better! I wonder why that is.
