Some Duskmourn impressions

Some observation from current Duskmourn stats (since the race to bottom started a week ago and some cards start to move up I thought this could be interesting for some).

First off: [[Abhorrent Oculus]]. The card is great. Many people want to brew around this card, and I’ve been following some discussions on the modern and main sub where some people have high hopes that this card might have potential even in modern. Honestly, I don’t see this card in modern (although I would love to be proven wrong!), but in standard and pioneer, it’s an absolute powerhouse.  It’s often described as „standard/pioneer murktide“ and I think that's quite accurate. (By the way a new great target for [[Mockingbird]] and pairs excellently with [[Satoru, the Infiltrator]]). The flying eye generates enormous value and even has its uses in commander, as it triggers on each opponent's upkeep.

Speaking of standard powerhouses: [[Valgavoth, Terror Eater]] is the new number one reanimation target. YouTube thumbnails are flooded with the Elder Demon and that’s for good reason. He has no overpowered etb, which explains his initially low price (less than €10, if I’m not mistaken). But he generates a ton of value with his ability to remove (and then steal) the opponents played cards while also having one of the very best ward abilities out there - sacrifice 3 nonland permanents. So if your opponents don’t have a board wipe this evil breed will most likely win the game. And since reanimation shells want this card as a Playset, Valgavoth will probably not fall below the €20 mark anytime soon.

Sidenote: [[Nowhere to Run]] is one of the few good answers to Valgavoth (besides board wipes GY interaction) which is why this uncommon will likely keep its current price as well. There are obviously other reasons as well since this card is quite versatile and has a lot of usage (in my opinion, one of the best uncommons from DSK).

The Verge land cycle also looks like a decent pick up (IF you are interested in standard) since these lands are arguably among the best dual lands for Standard right now and will likely retain this title for the next couple of years.

Some final thoughts: [[Ghost Vacuum]] sees play in different formats. Not only can it be used as a good graveyard hate (in all formats!) but it can also be used for some shenanigans to secure your graveyard (looking at you Valgavoth) from your opponent´s graveyard hate. The card has already seen some price increase.

Edit: seems like Oculus was real.

The land cycle is the only thing I'm particularly interested in as an EDH player. They're better than most tap lands, I don't play at a super high level so they're perfect for my play group.

[[unwanted remake]] seems like outstanding efficient removal for one mana that i'm going to slot in some decks. Great value at sub $.50
