Dark Confidant — Price of Knowledge
Dark Confidant is a compact engine for card advantage and tempo in black decks. For a single black and a colorless mana you get a 2 1 body that taxes your life total each upkeep to refill your hand. The card forces choices: smooth draws and answers arrive sooner, but the life payment reshapes your sequencing and opens lines for life gain, removal or racing plays.
In gameplay terms Dark Confidant rewards careful deckbuilding and tight play. It thrives in low curve lists where every extra card matters and punishes greedy topdecks. The Foundations Jumpstart printing preserves the classic text and feel while slotting neatly into replays and draft builds. Add it when you want steady card flow and are prepared to manage the cost.
