Card Details
Mana CostSet
Character Background
Dark Ritual is one of Magic’s most iconic burst-mana spells, a tiny black instant that trades a single card for a huge early tempo swing by adding {B}{B}{B}. It best supports combo and tempo-heavy black decks, especially lists that want to jump ahead on the first few turns with a fast threat, a planeswalker, discard plus deploy, or a tutor into a game-winning line. Because it only costs {B}, it can turn awkward opening hands into explosive starts, making it especially strong when paired with cards that scale with early mana advantage such as reanimation spells, fast mana sinks, or creatures and engines that are too expensive to cast naturally on curve. A practical deckbuilding tip is to include enough impactful one- and two-mana plays so Dark Ritual never feels stranded; in dedicated combo shells, it is often strongest when it converts immediately into a tutor, hand disruption, or a mana-intensive payoff.
