Midnight Mayhem — Quiet Chaos
Midnight Mayhem is a compact, efficient spell that fits smoothly into aggro and sacrifice shells in Duskmourn: House of Horror. Cast it for {1}{B}{R} to force each opponent to discard a card then punish certain discards while providing a small board presence. The foil Near Mint print gives table cred without changing the play pattern; it reads like a tool you reach for when you need card advantage turned into tempo.
As an experienced player you will appreciate the timing window and the ways Midnight Mayhem can chain with graveyard synergies. It pressures hands, clears expensive threats from opponents and can convert a single card loss into a 2/2 creature that trades favorably on the battlefield. The card’s mechanics echo Duskmourn’s theme of restless consequences and creeping tokens, making it a practical inclusion rather than a flashy one.
