Heart of Darkness

Black/Green Self-Mill, Sacrifice, and Reanimation Triggers

Syr Konrad, the Grim by Anna Steinbauer

Syr Joseph Konrad is lost in the darkest part of the woods, where the corrupting influence can seep into the very heart …

Use sacrifice and graveyard recursion to trigger effects, all the while piling up counters and tokens. Feed your Forests to the Dark Heart of the Wood to gain life, then cast Splendid Reclamation to return them all, pile on the landfall triggers, and unleash the darkness within Syr Konrad, the Grim. The horror! The horror!
