Dark Confidant

Creature — Human Wizard

At the beginning of your upkeep, reveal the top card of your library and put that card into your hand. You lose life equal to its mana value.

Where's Dark Ritualfoil, Crypt Ghastfoil, Dark Confidant, Strionic Resonator and Wayfarer's Bauble?

Third. Dark Confidant is second.

Another one I see a lot is Fertilid. Most of the time it's a slower Explosive Vegetation, admittedly for instead of , but you have to pay twice, so you're basically payingg over three turns. There are some typal benefits, and there are options for recursion, but that's about all I can see it in. All of that, and Veggies is kind of...There are like, 5 strictly better Veggies?

No, seriously, I looked it up.

Anyway, Fertilid is worse than Veggies, and definitely worse than Cultivate/Kodama's Reach, but I keep seeing it.

Necropotence probably costs too much (It's around $20.), but if you have one, play it. As long as you're drawing at least 2 cards per turn (and a rat deck should be playing at least that many cards per turn), you're getting an advantage. (That said, I don't typically play Necro on turn 3. I typically play it later.)

Skullclamp is another obvious recommendation for typal decks. You're essentially sacrificing a creature to draw two cards.

Night's Whisper, Sign in Blood, Read the Bones...those are some of my favorite "draw X cards". You can throw in Damnable Pact for big plays. I also like Stinging Study, but it's kind of expensive.

Erebos, God of the Dead (a bit expensive) or Greed is useful as well.

Now, a word about Phyrexian Arena: I'm not sure you want it in an aggro strategy. It's great for controlling strategies, especially Stax (decks which essentially make it impossible for most decks to do anything and then do a point or two of damage every turn) and landfall, but aggro? It's still good, but not insanely overpowered. There's also Dark Confidant, which is Phyrexian Arena #2.

Morbid Opportunist only happens once per turn. I feel like Dark Confidant would burn me too quickly. Thanks so much for the suggestions. If you come across more, please send away. DarkKiridon

Honestly think you should give Skullclamp a shot again. It’s always so good especially with a bunch of tokens laying around.

There’s also cards closely related to straight draw you could try too like Dark Confidant.

There’s also Morbid Opportunist. Yes it’s once per turn but it’s every turn. Not just yours.

Dark Confidant would be so powerful in this deck with 46% zero CMC. Cut Diabolic Intent.

Floodbringer & Oboro Breezecaller > whichever 2 moonfolk you think are the weakest. Uyo seems bad in a deck with 6 spells.

Blossoming Tortoise > Sporemound

Treasure Hunt > Maelstrom Nexus

Ancient Tomb > Sol Ring

This deck would greatly benefit from Academy Ruins, Hall of Heliod's Generosity and Volrath's Stronghold

How does Dark Confidant feel in here? I've been looking at 8rack lately and thought it seemed neat
