Ryusei, the Falling Star
Oracle Text
Flying
When Ryusei dies, it deals 5 damage to each creature without flying.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Ryusei, the Falling Star is a classic value-flavored finisher for red decks that want to turn a creature death into a sweeping board reset. A 5/5 flyer for six mana already pressures life totals in a control or midrange shell, but its real strength is the death trigger: when it falls, it burns down every nonflying creature for 5, often clearing away token armies, utility dorks, and most ground-based threats while leaving your aerial force intact. That makes it especially strong in decks built around sacrifice, reanimation, or death triggers, where you can choose the moment it dies rather than waiting for combat. Pair it with outlets like Goblin Bombardment, High Market, or Ashnod’s Altar, and consider running other flyers or creatures with evasion so your board survives the blast. In Commander, it can serve as a deterrent and a political tool, threatening a devastating swing if opponents overcommit to the ground.
