Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Ob Nixilis, Captive Kingpin is a mythic payoff for a grindy, damage-pinging value plan that leans into tempo and incremental advantage rather than raw burst. A 4/3 flying trample body for four mana already pressures life totals, but his real power comes from turning every instance where one or more opponents each lose exactly 1 life into growth and card advantage. That means cheap pings, treasure-fueled burn, and repeatable chip damage become deeply efficient, especially in multiplayer where one trigger can scale across the table. He pairs well with cards like Mayhem Devil, Guttersnipe-style effects, pingers, or sacrifice engines that can repeatedly shave off single points. Because the card exiles the top card you can play until your next end step, build with a low curve and flexible mana so you can convert those extra cards immediately. In lore terms, he feels like a demon ruler stripped down to his most predatory instincts—still dominating the board, but now by feeding on every small wound you inflict.
