@Clintonian: To simply say it is better would be too vague. You have to elaborate on that. In some aspects such as power, yes it is better. But the lack of shields and Life Drain leaves it to be much more vulnerable. Now you would say no one needs more than one Life Drain, but Shadowdance's energy efficiency allows it for one more. Judging by Dark Incarnate's deck, it also seems energy efficient enough to handle one more Life Drain. Also, Shadowdance would fair better against a shielded foe at that critical HP point because of an Empower'd piercing attack. However, Dark Incarnate does have a MoD which Shadowdance does not so it would be easier to take down shields in that regard. So by these facts Dark Incarnate is better than Shadowdance as a beat stick, but is not better in terms of surviving longer. In certain situations, offensive prowess would be favourable, so Dark Incarnate would be the better choice. However, if you are facing a foe that has a lot of DoT usage or is just very powerful, Shadowdance would be better. So it all matters about the situation. A good example of how Shadowdance would be better than Dark Incarnate is against a very powerful foe such as HH or FC. Dark Incarnate just won't be able to survive all that bashing because all he is doing is attacking. FC in particular would just heal all that damage while attacking back and since Dark Incarnate can't protect itself, it is a goner.
