(Trial of Darkness) Mastery of Darkness

[Kael Hate]

MASTERY OF DARKNESS

For my series I decided to theme the set on its purpose, proving Mastery of Darkness.
The card ideas show you as the Elemental comanding powers that only an elemental of Darkness could truly understand.

Walking the Void

Bargain with Darkness

Darkling Bond

Subversion

Claws of Darkness

SYNERGIES

"Walking the Void" works with "Bargain with Darkness"
One Draws your cards accelerating your game and putting you closer to decking out, the other recovers the lost life and prevents your loss.

"Darkling Bond" gives you Darkling Imps. Those imps can draw actions away from the permanents and in combination with obfuscate can have those cards almost utterly untargetable to the opponent.

"Subversion" and the "Claws' keep your quanta count up to offest the upkeeps.

"Claws" and "Horrid Nightmare | Dread Shadow" keep your opponents creatures under control.

SAMPLE DECK

1x Walking the Void
4x Bargain with Darkness
4x Horrid Nightmare
2x Darkiling Bond
4x Subversion
1x Claws of Darkness
2x Steal
1x Nightfall
1x Dusk Mantle
10x Obsidian Pillar
Mark of Darkness

An interesting design that relies on subversion for victory.
Bargain with Darkness draws into you cards allowing you to drop more pillars and the rcovers that health with the Subversion.
Everything else gives you control of the creatures and the incoming damage.

Sigh... Kael, all those cards seemed too complex and confusing to me. Maybe I'm not in the right mood at the moment...

by aligned with darkness do you mean have the Mark of Darkness? If so. Could your mark be something different, then play a card called "Mark of Darkness"?

Your Primary Mark must be Darkness. I have consdiered the use of additional marks but as yet no.
