Character Background

Demonic Counsel is a brutal little tutor that best supports value- and combo-oriented black decks (and midrange lists that want consistent threats): for {1}{B} you either grab a Demon to stabilize or pressure the board early, or — once you’ve filled your graveyard with four different card types — you upgrade into a universal tutor that finds a removal spell, reanimation target, or combo piece. Thematically it reads like a whispered bargain where a demon hands you forbidden knowledge for a pittance, and mechanically it rewards graveyard construction. Deckbuilding tips: include cheap self-mill and discard engines (Stitcher’s Supplier, Cathartic Reunion/Tormenting Voice-style effects) and a smattering of artifacts/enchantments/instants to hit Delirium reliably, or lean into reanimation and build around big Demons to capitalize on repeat tutoring. In control or combo shells it’s pure utility; in midrange it streamlines your draws into threats. Treat it as a two-for-one insurance policy that evolves into a one-card combo enabler once Delirium is online.
