Character Background
Myrkul, Lord of Bones is the kind of necromantic overlord who refuses to let death be the end of the story: as long as you’re at or below half your starting life, he grants indestructible, turning your life total into a deliberate battlefield resource rather than a liability. In practice, his real engine is the death trigger—each time a nontoken creature you control dies, you can exile it and create an “almost-copy” that’s an enchantment with all other card types stripped away, letting you repeatedly convert sacrifice and attrition into durable, hard-to-dislodge board presence. Build to support inevitability: run control shells packed with removal, sweepers, and death enablers like sacrifice outlets or creatures that naturally trade off, then pair with enchantment synergies (or payoff cards that care about enchantments) to maximize the value of each exiled corpse. This card strongly supports value-control and grindy attrition, often turning “you traded one for one” into “you can’t win through my rebuilt wall.”
