Character Background

Hymn of the Faller reads like a compact funeral chant and, in play, it functions as cheap, reliable card selection and incremental value—best suited to value-oriented midrange, control, or graveyard-focused shells rather than raw aggro. Surveil 1 plus a draw for {1}{B} smooths your draws, fuels delve/reanimate targets, and the life loss is insignificant in decks that plan to trade resources for long-term advantage; the Void bonus turns it into a two-for-one whenever a nonland permanent left the battlefield or a warped spell resolved that turn, so build to enable that. Specific synergy: include a low-cost sacrifice outlet such as Viscera Seer or a one-mana removal like Fatal Push to consistently activate Void and dig deeper, and lean into cards that care about the graveyard (Gurmag Angler, flashback or reanimation pieces). As a slot, treat it like a cheap cantrip that doubles as graveyard fuel—prioritize it where incremental card advantage and setup matter.
