Ballad of the Black Flag
Oracle Text
(As this Saga enters and after your draw step, add a lore counter. Sacrifice after IV.)
I, II, III — Mill three cards. You may put a historic card from among them into your hand. (Artifacts, legendaries, and Sagas are historic.)
IV — Historic spells you cast this turn cost {2} less to cast.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Ballad of the Black Flag is a tidy value engine for blue decks that want to grind while assembling historic synergies, especially control or tempo lists with a light artifact package. Its first three chapters steadily stock the graveyard, turning each mill into selection by letting you reclaim a historic card—often an artifact piece, legendary threat, or even another Saga—to keep your hand full and your options flexible. That makes it especially good with cheap legendary creatures, utility artifacts, or cards that care about being milled. The fourth chapter is the payoff: a turn-wide discount on historic spells, which can enable a burst of tempo by chaining multiple plays, dropping a larger artifact suite, or deploying a legendary threat while holding up interaction. Deckbuilding tip: pair it with cards that naturally recur from the graveyard or reward self-mill, so the early chapters are not just setup but real card advantage.
