Best fit Destroy, multi-destroy meta, cost reduction payoff How to use it Use Death in destroy-heavy metas and decks that can reliably reduce her cost before the final turn. Common mistake The common mistake is playing Death in decks that do not destroy enough cards to make her cost reduction matter. Token advice Consider tokens only if you already play the archetype and the card is still performing well in the current meta. Source: 24 linked ItsGuestGaming article mention(s) found.
