About Fear of the Dark

Fear of the Dark, Enchantment creature — nightmare, designed by Sam Wolfe Connelly first released in Sep, 2024 in the set Duskmourn: House of Horror. It see play in 1 formats: Commander.

Fear of the Dark would fit well in a black aggressive or midrange deck that focuses on exploiting the opponent's creature count and maintaining pressure, particularly in a meta where Glimmer creatures are less common. Decks that utilize discard effects or creature removal can help ensure that the defending player has fewer blockers, making Fear of the Dark's menace and deathtouch abilities more impactful. While there are other strong options like Grave Titan or Glistener Elf that may provide more immediate board presence or synergy, Fear of the Dark can still be a valuable addition in a niche strategy. Overall, it could see play in specific builds, especially if you can consistently leverage its abilities.
