Character Background
Darkstar Augur is a classic value engine for black decks that can afford a little self-inflicted pain, leaning most naturally into control or midrange shells. A 2/3 flying body for three mana already blocks well and chips in over stalled boards, but the real strength is the upkeep trigger: extra cards every turn, even if they come stapled to life loss. In practice, that makes low-curve decks and life-gain builds especially attractive, since you want to keep the mana values of your topdecks manageable. Offspring {B} is a notable bonus, turning the Augur into a two-for-one threat if you can spare the extra black mana; copying it gives you another flying body and another source of card flow, which can snowball quickly if unanswered. Pair it with lifegain, drain effects, or efficient removal to stay ahead while the cards pile up, and avoid heavy top-end spells unless you can offset the life loss.
