Scry 1 is always going to be nice, early or late. It’s also the most impactful dungeon if you can’t finish it, making the Lost Mine a popular choice for decks with only a few incidental venture cards. The rest of Phandelver’s modes are decently useful and the entire dungeon can be completed in just four ventures. In a vacuum, scry 1 is better than gaining one life or having each player lose one life. This is largely because Phandelver has the best Level 1 mode. While I said there’s no true “best dungeon,” there’s certainly a most commonly picked one which would be none other than Lost Mine of Phandelver. Let’s take a look at each of them individually, shall we? Lost Mine of Phandelver There’s no universal “best” dungeon as each excels in different situations. Black ventures the most and also has the best venture common in Precipitous Drop.Īs you likely know, there are three dungeons in the set: Dungeon of the Mad Mage, Lost Mine of Phandelver, and Tomb of Annihilation. Venture appears in every color, though red barely has any and green’s venture is mostly tied to its higher rarity cards. You descend into dungeons with the venture mechanic, which appears on lots of cards in various different ways (i.e., venture when ETB, venture on attack, pay (3) and tap to venture, etc.). Dungeons/Ventureĭungeons are the most unique mechanic in the set and greatly affect card evaluations, gameplay, deckbuilding, and drafting. Rather than rehashing the same info, I’ll expand on these segments and cover things I think WotC missed. Wizards already covered the basics of Forgotten Realms ’ mechanics.
