Dregs
of Sorrow is an amazing limited card. You
play it no matter what, even if it's your only
black card. It wins you the game almost
every time you play it. It is THAT game
swinging. The cost is almost irrelevant in
sealed - it's a mid game card when you sweep their
board.
In constructed, it's a
faster environment where you are almost guarenteed
to never cast this card when you need it.
Don't play it.
Constructed:
1.5
Limited: 5

Dregs has a great
ability, but its casting cost is too high for
competitive constructed formats. But in limited,
this card is sooo good. Clear one or two of your
opponent's creatures, or late game, clear their
whole non-black board, then swing with team. They
usually don't recover from it. I actually have
this in my MTGO online league deck. It almost
without exception turns the game to my favor
whenever I play it. A definite first
pick in draft. If you're not going black, splash
for it.

A great card for
limited. The ability to kill multiple creatures
can really swing the board in your favor. You
should win the game shortly after you cast this.
The fact that it
costs 5 mana to start, though, means that it
will never be useful for constructed. It's just
too darn expensive.
Constructed: 1.25
Limited: 4.5

Wednesday - Dregs of Sorrow
I remember when I actually got to play this a few
times. It was always interesting. I think I just
enjoyed the general duality of this card. The
problem this card had, was it's release time. It
was available in an environment that was leaning
heavily toward speed and being fast. This card
definitely isn't fast. It's a slow card for the
later game that helps swing the tide in your
favor.
I will say that if I were drafting and even
considering playing black and this came by, I
would DEFINITELY take it.
Constructed: 2
Limited: 4 |

Wednesday - Dregs of Sorrow
If you can get Dregs of Sorrow to hit the table,
you got it made. But otherwise, this card is way
too costly and just isn't fast enough. Right now in
Contructed there are just better options such as
Chainer's Edict, Innocent Blood, and Smother for
cheap and fast creature removal. I guess I could
see this being played with Cabal Coffers, but it
simply costs way too much.
In Limited, you better take it and play. Way too
much of an advantage.
Contructed: 2.5/5
Limited: 4.25/5 |

Dregs of Sorrow
A card I liked a lot when it first came out, it
is good in theory but in
practice tends to be too slow and restrictive.
Still playable in low
numbers though, maybe as a burning wish target.
In limited it's a game
winner.

AH! My ex-favorite card, I quit Magic at Urza's
Saga
and Got back around Invasion, I was stunned! I
sucked! I loved this card until Apocalypse. I
still
like it, but I haven't found enough use for it, it
kills newbies though! Limited! GREAT! I'd use
it
limited!

Dregs of Sorrow is one
of those cards that you open up in a pack and say,
“Wow, that is darn powerful. I’m gonna go put it
in my shoebox now.” Yes the effect is downright
amazing, if your deck ever gets up to enough mana.
At 6 it is an overcosted effect. At 7 mana it is a
decent deal. Beyond that point is where it finally
gets good.
In Constructed not many decks can wait to hit this
high of a mana mark and not drop a game-winning
card – Rating 2.00
In Limited this card is easy to splash and you
probably will hit a high enough mana mark, plus
removal is golden and card drawing is almost as
good. This is a game breaker – Rate 4.00 |
