Creatures (16) Planeswalkers (8) Lands (25) Spells (11) While Archangel Avacyn has enjoyed relatively little success in powered formats, her sheer dominance during her entire Standard duration combined with just how many other Standard formats would be warped by her earn her spot on the list (and thats to say nothing of how complicated of a card she is, making her one of the most difficult to play optimally against)
I am indeed working with a budget
Its also easy to confound because there are plenty of adventure cards that are also dragons, like Decadent Dragon and Young Blue Dragon
It works with graveyard decks, draw two decks, cantrips, and can be played alongside self-mill or reanimator
and To the Slaughter help us play enough small-ball that we just dont fall behind as much
Even if they exile its target or Stifle the ability, you will still have Recurring Nightmare in your hand, ready to try again
