Duskmourn: House of Horror- Top 10 Cards to Watch

The upcoming Duskmourn set introduces 280 new cards to Magic: The Gathering, featuring a wide range of power levels and mechanics that will impact many formats. Cards like Demonic Counsel and Rite of the Moth bring powerful tutoring and reanimation abilities, with Demonic Counsel allowing for searches once delirium is triggered. Meanwhile, Leyline of Mutation and Leyline of Resonance provide flexible multicolor and spell-doubling capabilities, respectively, making them exciting additions to Commander and Standard decks alike.

Other standout cards include Split Up, a three-mana modal board wipe, and Abhorren Oculus, which leverages your opponent's dread while offering reanimation synergy. Kona, Rescue Beastie lets players cheat large permanents into play, while Unwanted Remake provides efficient removal with only a slight drawback. Unidentified Hovership acts as repeatable removal in the form of a vehicle, and the new Verge Lands bring versatile dual lands to the game, fitting seamlessly into multicolor strategies.

Duskmourn is shaping up to be a set filled with game-changing mechanics, making it a must-play for Magic fans across all formats. Whether you're into fast-paced aggro, controlling reanimator decks, or simply expanding your collection with powerful new cards, the Duskmourn set offers a diverse range of tools that are sure to leave a lasting impact on the game.

You can still sign up for Duskmourn: House of Horrors boxes on pre-order by contacting us on Discord, Facebook, or at the store. We are also taking pre-orders for Magic the Gathering: Foundations scheduled for 11/15/2024 release now.
