My first thought after seeing Archfiend of the Dross was that it would make for cool Harmless Offering shenanigans, but I guess attacking with it also works.

Got Archfiend of the Dross in my sealed pool today. Played it three times: exiled immediately, countered, permanently tapped down after hitting them once. No regrets, but oh man! Luckily I still won those games. In the third I won when it had 1 oil counter left. It was stressful!

I honestly don't think the set is gonna make Black much more OP. Neither Archfiend nor Obliterator are better than Sheoldred, and Phyrexian Arena isn't better than Fable. So the Rakdos or Grixis decks change very little.

@Brackish Like I said, monoW is superior. Also midrange vs midrange there is next to comparison sadly. Best spot removal, by far the best board wipes, crazy threats that double as value engines like Serra Paragon and Ao, plus go wide+anthem utility with the fucking announcements. It can really do it all, B can't.

We know how difficult Sheoldred is to remove at 5 toughness and we know how long she can stay on the battlefield sometimes. 1+1= 2. Archfiend only really needs 2 turns to win and 1 turn to do devastating damage. It's not always better but in an aggressive deck it kinda is. However if the best decks in the meta play no creatures then Archfiend becomes way worse.

The dude Obliterator/fight combo'd me and killed a creature and forced me to sac a 5 cost artifact and 2 of my lands on like turn 7. I'm sure I'll be seeing this stuff again. If I didn't know my deck so well it would have been an instant concede.

Before watching the video : I think Archfiend will overperform. But the life loss from Arena + Vraska will be significant. You probably need some constant sources of lifegain or life drain if you're doing the Arena + Vraska thing imo. And as boring as it sounds Sheoldred seems perfect for those two cards in particular. But screw Sheoldred. :)
@vulcanh254

After watching: Life loss was irrelevant because there was no aggro deck haha. But yeah Archfiend looks good. Not worse than Sheoldred, just different. You play Sheoldred if you want to grind. You play Archfiend if you want to destroy.
