Dark Prophecy

I pulled a Dark Prophecy from a booster pack and started thinking, why isn't MBD running these. it helps Pack Rat with card draw. It adds devotion for any card looking for devotion like Gray Merchant of Asphodel . it can turn almost turn on Erebos, God of the Dead . Isnt this part of why Nightveil Specter is so good? 3 devotion... Whip of Erebos among other things can make up for life lost and you can have multiples on the battlefield. To me Id much rather replace a removal spell or two for this shit. So is there a reason why I never see play?

They use Underworld Connections for the same purposes, which is more reliable, do not need a creature to die, just tap a land.

MBD doesn't usually run A LOT of creatures, but they run a lot of removal. Now if it said "whenever a creature dies" instead of "...you control dies" then it would be BROKEN.

If you COULD get it out along with Varolz, the Scar-Striped in a golgari midrange deck however... :)
