About Baneful Omen

Baneful Omen, Enchantment, designed by Karl Kopinski first released in Apr, 2010 in the set Rise of the Eldrazi. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 3.11.

Baneful Omen would be a strong addition to a control deck that focuses on disrupting opponents' resources and winning through incremental life loss. While the card has potential in a slow, grindy game, it may not be the most efficient choice due to its high mana cost and the randomness of its effect. A more reliable alternative could be Underworld Dreams, which deals damage to opponents whenever they draw a card, providing a consistent source of pressure and disruption in a wider range of matchups. Ultimately, Baneful Omen could see play in specific metagames or casual settings where its unique effect can shine, but it may not be a staple in competitive decks.
