Cloud of Darkness
Oracle Text
Flying
Particle Beam — When Cloud of Darkness enters, target creature an opponent controls gets -X/-X until end of turn, where X is the number of permanent cards in your graveyard.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Cloud of Darkness fits best in a value-oriented control or midrange shell that naturally fills the graveyard while stabilizing the board. As a legendary Avatar with flying, it pressures life totals in the air, but its real strength is the enter-the-battlefield Particle Beam, which can scale into a brutal removal spell once your graveyard holds several permanent cards. That makes self-mill, fetchlands, sacrifice outlets, and cheap trade-heavy gameplay especially appealing, since every landed permanent in the graveyard increases the shrink effect. In practice, this card rewards patience: trade early, develop your graveyard, then drop Cloud of Darkness to clear away a key attacker or blocker and swing tempo decisively. It also pairs well with recursion and reanimation, letting you reuse the ETB trigger for repeated removal. The Final Fantasy flavor suggests a looming, engulfing force, and the mechanics support that by turning accumulated battlefield losses into overwhelming shadowy pressure.
