Despite the billions of cards being printed, several fans have struggled finding product at stores, leading to several Triangle residents waiting outside of trading card shops for releases of new sets, which happen every two to three months
Somehow I eventually ended up with most of the base set, though
There are enough birds (especially tokens) in this set for this to turn into a nice play that kills an opposing creature, but not all decks will have enough of them
The Innistrad set contains 264 cards (107 common, 67 uncommon, 59 rare, 16 mythic rare, and 15 basic land).
This isnt about optimization or turbo-power, this is more about cutting out near-unplayables (Aerie Mystics is not a card I saw hit the table and do anything, ever)
We can hack any color words on cards like Creakwood Liege or Dire Undercurrents to double up the buff to creatures of a single color, and since the vast majority of creatures and even tokens we create are black, just one of these can turn an Abhorrent Overlord into a Ragnarok-level threat
