Card recursions is one of the powerful strategies in Magic, especially in mid to late games where you gain more options and advantage over your opponent by having more gas in hand. For today’s card preview, it reminded me of one card that has faced bans in the older formats, Yawgmoth’s Will. Check out Deliver Unto Evil

The oracle text says: 

Deliver Unto Evil
2B
Sorcery

Choose up to four target cards in your graveyard. If you control a Bolas planeswalker, return those cards to your hand. Otherwise, an opponent chooses two of them. Leave the chosen cards in your graveyard and put the rest into your hand.

Exile Deliver Unto Evil.

The card is an auto addition in Blue Black or Grixis control deck archetypes as it acts like a late game gas to bring back your relevant counter spells and removals and also the Saga cards like The Eldest Reborn. While it can be situational most of the time without a Bolas Planeswalker, having a variance in your spells can still get you the advantage. The only downside is that you can play it only at Sorcery speed.

The one card that you can combo with it is Mastermind’s Acquisition as it can bring back Deliver Unto Evil while can also return the acquisition once you have your Bolas stick in the battlefield.

I am expecting to see Grixis Midrange decks in Standard with the new Nicol Bolas along with its M19 cousin and utilizing this card as a pseudo-card draw option.

Until the next blog post.
