Oracle Text

Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Dark Confidant embodies a ruthless bargain: a human wizard who trades your life total for raw card advantage, making it ideal in decks that prize tempo and value. Its repeatable reveal converts slow turns into gas for aggressive or midrange game plans that keep pressure on the opponent so the life payment is sustainable — think Jund-style midrange or low-curve Black-based tempo lists. Deckbuilding matters: keep your average converted mana cost low and load up on efficient removal and one-drops (Lightning Bolt, Fatal Push, Thoughtseize) so most reveals are playable rather than punishing. Top-deck manipulation like Brainstorm or Serum Visions (or Sensei’s Divining Top where legal) pairs well, letting you sculpt future hits and reduce life loss. If you expect long games, plan sideboard answers or marginal life gain; but in short, Dark Confidant rewards tight risk management and curve construction, turning a fragile 2/1 into relentless card advantage.
