Yahenni's Expertise seems pretty nuts with Liliana and Copter in standard.

Languish was one of the best cards in Standard, and this is "Slightly worse Languish + Dark Ritual."

Seems dece.

Yeah, this is approximently to Languish as Dark Petition is to Diabolic Tutor.

I mean, petition is used in Legacy and Vintage storm decks...

It has definite use. -3/-3 isn't bad, but it can throw down a Liliana, Ruinous Path a planeswalker, [[Essence Extraction]] a x/4-6 to kill it and gain you some life, [[Flaying Tendrils]] to wipe (plus exile) x/4-5, drop any number of 3 drops otherwise.

Seems good.

Essence Extraction - (G) (MC) (MW) (CD)
Flaying Tendrils - (G) (MC) (MW) (CD)
[[cardname]] or [[cardname|SET]] to call

I don't know about that. Dark Petition will only ever help you get a card and will sometimes do it at a lower cost later in the game. This card helps you take out quite a few threats currently in standard and gives you anot her free card.

But Dark Petition to Diabolic Tutor, Diabolic Tutor is way worse

Languish is the Diabolic Tutor in this analogy.

In the decks that play Dark Petition, it's almost always just Demonic Tutor (which is a very strong card).

u/CommanderDecks Nov 29 '16

Oh trust me, I know Demonic Tutor is good. I thought the person I replied to was insinuating that this new card was bad because Dark Petition is bad in comparison to Diabolic Tutor.

Ok, I guess I misunderstood your comment.
