Personal opinion: The best practice is always to playtest your deck and decide what feels better for it based in its needs and the way you like to play
Can You Sacrifice Battles
What should a new player prioritize early in their budget
Unlike the Force of Negation promo, this Arcane Denial doesnt appear to be limited in supply
