About Promise of Power

Promise of Power, Sorcery, designed by Kev Walker first released in Oct, 2003 in the set Mirrodin and was printed exactly in 5 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 6.01.

A deck that focuses on card advantage and has ways to gain life or mitigate life loss would benefit from Promise of Power, as it offers a significant card draw option or a powerful creature token. However, there are better options for card draw in black, such as Necropotence or Phyrexian Arena, which provide consistent card advantage without the life loss drawback. Promise of Power could see play in decks looking for a versatile card that can provide both card advantage and a threat, but it may not be a top choice compared to more efficient options available.
