Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Balor is a brutal mythic finisher that fits best in a Rakdos-style midrange or tempo shell, where a 5/5 flying body already pressures life totals and its attack trigger turns every combat step into a mini-riddle for the table. The flexibility is what makes it dangerous: against a control player, the random draw-discard mode can shred carefully assembled hands; against artifact decks, forcing a nontoken sacrifice is a clean answer; and the hand-size damage mode can close games fast when opponents are holding cards in reserve. In Commander, Balor shines in builds that can guarantee multiple opponents, since each mode must target a different player, maximizing value the moment it attacks or dies. Pair it with sacrifice outlets or blink/reanimation effects to reuse the trigger, and consider wheel effects or hand-disruption support to make the damage mode more lethal. It is a pressure card first, removal second, and a punisher of greedy hands above all.
