Draft & Sealed Synergies

Best cards to pair with Way of the Deathbringer in Reality Fracture limited

common

Bestial Incursion

Sorcery

Bestial Incursion creates a 4/4 Beast token with trample, and Way of the Deathbringer gives planeswalkers a -2 to sacrifice a creature and create another 4/4 Beast, letting you sacrifice the first Beast to make a fresh one.

Rampart Hunter

Creature — Horror

Rampart Hunter is a creature you're happy to sacrifice for Way of the Deathbringer's -2 ability since it already provided value on entry, and the resulting 4/4 Beast is a much better attacker.

Silence the Echo

Sorcery

Silence the Echo requires sacrificing a creature or planeswalker as an additional cost, and Way of the Deathbringer's Beast creation means you always have a token to sacrifice for Silence the Echo's removal effect.

uncommon

Way of the Necromancer

Legendary Enchantment

Way of the Necromancer puts loyalty counters on planeswalkers whenever a creature dies, and Way of the Deathbringer's -2 sacrifices a creature, triggering Way of the Necromancer to reload the planeswalker's loyalty.

mythic

Garruk, Veiled Butcher

Legendary Planeswalker — Garruk

Garruk's -2 already sacrifices a creature to create a 4/4 Beast, and Way of the Deathbringer gives him an additional -2 mode to do the same, doubling his Beast production while his static ability exiles opponent's dying creatures.
