Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Pestilence is a classic black control tool that turns the board into a grim attrition engine, rewarding you for surviving longer than everyone else. Its repeated {B}-activated ping can sweep away small creatures, chip down larger ones, and steadily pressure opponents’ life totals, making it especially strong in grindy control or midrange shells that want to invalidate combat. The catch is its self-sacrificing clause: if the battlefield is empty at end step, it disappears, so you should pair it with creatures that can survive the damage or leave tokens behind. Cards with protection from black, high toughness, lifelink, or death-trigger value work well, and even a single durable creature can keep Pestilence online while the rest of the table gets cleared. In practice, it excels when you can control the pace of the game and convert a stalled board into a slow inevitability.
