Ardyn, the Usurper
Oracle Text
Demons you control have menace, lifelink, and haste.
Starscourge — At the beginning of combat on your turn, exile up to one target creature card from a graveyard. If you exiled a card this way, create a token that's a copy of that card, except it's a 5/5 black Demon.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Ardyn, the Usurper looks built for a grindy value-control shell that turns the graveyard into a weapon. In Final Fantasy terms, the “usurper” feel is perfectly captured by Starscourge: every combat step can steal the best creature from any graveyard and remake it as a 5/5 black Demon, letting you steadily rebuild board presence while draining resources from opponents. Because your Demons gain menace, lifelink, and haste, the card also rewards a low-to-the-ground Demon package that can close games quickly once Ardyn sticks. Deckbuilding-wise, pair him with self-mill, discard, and sacrifice outlets so graveyards are always stocked with premium targets; even a simple Entomb-style effect or mill engine turns combat into repeated threat generation. He’s especially strong when you can protect him through removal and keep pressure on, since the lifelink and haste on your Demon army can swing races decisively.
