This time, luck showed up through the Conclave Arcana raffle, where I pulled mint #32 of a Black Foil Cullborn Revenant. Any Black Foil drop is worth celebrating, but landing one through a raffle always feels a bit extra special—especially knowing how limited and competitive these draws can be.
A Closer Look at the Card
Cullborn Revenant immediately caught my attention as a very solid low-mana card. Strong attack paired with good speed makes it feel like one of those deceptively powerful commons that can easily outperform expectations, especially in the right rulesets.
Commons like this often end up being meta staples, and having it in Black Foil form only amplifies its value—both mechanically and from a collection standpoint.
Why Black Foils Still Feel Special
One of the best aspects of these newer drops is that Black Foils come unbound. That flexibility matters. It gives me optionality:
- Keep it and enjoy the fully maxed version
- Use it strategically across formats
- Or sell it if I want to redirect value elsewhere
Even though I haven’t decided what I’ll do with this one yet, just having the choice makes the reward feel meaningful agaiSecond Drop, Growing Confidence
I honestly thought these Black Foil raffle drops would be much harder to come by. That’s why this being my second Conclave Arcana raffle win feels especially satisfying. It’s not just luck—it’s validation that consistent participation eventually pays off.
Each one of these drops makes it easier to build out a collection of maxed cards without relying entirely on market purchases or massive pack openings.
Moments like this remind me why the raffle system works. It’s rare enough to stay exciting, valuable enough to feel rewarding, and just frequent enough to keep engagement high.
Kudos to the team for continuing to refine these mechanics. If this is the direction rewards continue to evolve, I’m more than happy to stay along for the ride—and see what luck brings next.
