Character Background

“Cover of Darkness” is the kind of quiet pact you make before the battlefield even warms up: when it enters, you name a creature type and let dread do the work, granting those creatures fear so they can’t be blocked except by artifact creatures and/or black creatures. In practice, this is a disruption enchantment that supports a control-oriented game plan—stall the ground while your removal, sweepers, and inevitability take over—because denying blocks forces opponents to commit into the open. The lore fits the card’s intent perfectly: your shadows don’t just hide targets, they warp courage, turning every would-be blocker into something afraid to stand firm. For best results, identify the predominant creature type in your metagame or matchup—often Humans, Spirits, Zombies, or similar—and tune your deck to exploit the resulting gaps. Pair it with black menace/terror effects, artifact blockers, and sweepers that keep the opponent from redeploying quickly, ensuring you win the turns that matter.
