Dominate

About Dominate

Dominate, Master, designed by Douglas Shuler, Mike Dringenberg, Marco Marzo first released in augustus 1994 in the set Jyhad and was printed exactly in 10 different ways.

Dominate is mainly useful in a toolbox or bleed deck built around vampires who have only inferior Dominate and need a cheap permanent upgrade to reach DOM, particularly mid-capacity vampires that benefit from the additional capacity for playing Govern the Unaligned, Conditioning, or other expensive Dominate actions; it has little appeal in classic weenie-Dominate decks, where you generally want vampires who already have DOM and need more master-phase utility. There is no universally superior card for the exact effect, but in most competitive lists a vampire who already has DOM, or generally useful master cards such as Villein, Dreams of the Sphinx, Wash, or Sudden Reversal, will provide more value than spending a master slot on this. It should see play only in a focused deck with several suitable inferior-Dominate vampires and a real need for both superior Dominate and extra capacity; otherwise, it is usually too slow and narrow.
