Brotherhood Patriarch
Oracle Text
When this creature dies, each opponent loses 2 life and you gain 2 life.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Brotherhood Patriarch fits neatly into black’s value-oriented attrition plan, turning a humble common into a meaningful drain piece the moment it goes down. A 4/1 body for four mana is fragile, but that fragility is part of the appeal: it pressures life totals in combat, trades up or gets removed, and then still converts into a two-life swing against every opponent. That makes it especially strong in control or midrange shells that want incidental life gain and death triggers rather than raw board presence. It also works well in sacrifice decks, where you can cash it in on your own terms with outlets like Viscera Seer-style effects, ensuring the drain resolves when most convenient. In multiplayer formats, the life swing scales nicely, helping stabilize against multiple foes while advancing a grindy game plan.
