Character Background
March of Wretched Sorrow is a flexible instant that reads like a thematic, sacrificial removal spell: you trade black cards from your hand to shave two mana apiece off an X burn that both kills a creature or planeswalker and heals you. That design leans into control and midrange game plans—spot removal and life-buffering attrition—while offering combo potential when you structure your deck to make the exile cost trivial. In deckbuilding, prioritize many cheap black spells (cheap cantrips and one-mana interactions like Sign in Blood or Dark Ritual) and reliable card draw so you can exile resources to cast March for little to nothing and then refill; it also pairs well with planeswalkers you need to protect or with lifegain synergies that trigger on large heals. As an instant, it preserves tempo by answering threats at the last second; build it into lists that value efficient, flexible answers rather than pure aggression.
