Souls of the Lost

Fathomless descent — Souls of the Lost's power is equal to the number of permanent cards in your graveyard and its toughness is equal to that number plus 1.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Souls of the Lost is a clean fit for graveyard-centric value and midrange decks that want to turn early resources into a growing threat. In The Lost Caverns of Ixalan, it feels like a spirit formed from things the deep has claimed, and that theme shows up neatly in the mechanics: you must lose a card or permanent to bring it forth, then it scales with permanent cards in your graveyard. That makes it especially strong in black decks that naturally sacrifice tokens, Treasures, or expendable permanents, since the discard-or-sacrifice cost becomes an advantage rather than a drawback. It also pairs well with self-mill and permanents that replace themselves, like cheap artifacts or enchantments, to keep the graveyard stocked. In gameplay, cast it when you can immediately pressure the board; a 2-mana creature that can quickly become oversized supports a flexible tempo plan while still rewarding attrition-heavy control shells.
