DemonDragonJ What would you accept as a reason? Why do you think this decision was made? Do you believe this change has made the game worse?

Those questions aren't supposed to be aggressive or hostile; they're genuine questions to be taken at face value. (Taking the elcor approach: neutral, curious.)

It seems like you don't like or want this change. Mechanically, I don't see it as being much different from sacrificing a creature with a downside. Pulling out a Dark Privilege to escape the effects of a harmful Harbinger of Night has been valid for a long time. The flavor's a little.odd, but as long as black is getting the ability to interact with enchantments, it makes sense that it can interact with its own as well.

Also, this has been going on for all of one set. While it is kind of a lot of new cards with this effect, it's taking place in a set with a theme of creating and destroying Auras, and it's not unreasonable to expect the tide to settle down after Wilds of Eldraine.

I can't really blame you for removing Mikaeus, the Unhallowed he is expensive (mine's proxied...) and he combos with a tuna fish sandwich. If Harbinger of Night does look like fun with the right setup, I just wish he wasn't almost $8. I'd probably put him in if he was cheaper.

flyingscottydoesntknow I use Harbinger of Night as a free way to get a ton of -1/-1 counters and just rely on using cards that remove counters or buff effects to keep haparta alive. in all honestly its a cutable card but Ive have fun with it so I left it in.

Before I settled on this decklist I made it much more competitive and combo-centric version of this using Mikaeus, the Unhallowed as one of the main wincons. It was really powerful and consistent but I just didnt like winning that way. He's also pretty expensive so that played a factor too as to why hes not in here.

Seems like a fun deck, Fain, the Broker and Power Conduit seem like fun cards in this deck. I'll steal those cards for my own deck if I can find room. Access Tunnel is a nice land too.

Ammit Eternal is a surprisingly underrated card. Mikaeus, the Unhallowed opens up a million combo lines, including some with Devoted Druid and Cinderhaze Wretch . Funny thing, neither Druid nor Wretch need to actually be able to tap for you to put the -1/-1 counter on it regardless.

Although, I do want to ask, how well does Harbinger of Night work? It kinda just seems like it kills Hapatra, even though it does double your snakes twice. Is it worth it?

Pontiff of Blight to use with your K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth, Extraplanar Lens/Cabal Coffers for more ramp. Witch's Cottage

Maybe a Harbinger of Night to help balance out the +1/+1's from Mikaeus.
