Template:The Dark Portal strategy

The Dark Portal is best used in Handlock decks that plan to take advantage of large hand sizes and big minions. Getting a -4 discount on minions like Enhanced Dreadlord and Dread Infernal can give a huge advantage. However, setting up this card typically results in a low tempo until you can play the discounted minion in a future turn. If you are forced to use cards consistently against particularly aggressive decks, then this card becomes less useful due to having a lower chance of the player having 8 or more cards in their hand.
