Shilgengar, Sire of Famine
Oracle Text
Flying
Sacrifice another creature: Create a Blood token. If you sacrificed an Angel this way, create a number of Blood tokens equal to its toughness instead.
{W/B}{W/B}{W/B}, Sacrifice six Blood tokens: Return each creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield with a finality counter on it. Those creatures are Vampires in addition to their other types.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Shilgengar, Sire of Famine is built for grindy value and combo-leaning sacrifice shells, especially in Orzhov or multi-color decks that can stock the board with disposable creatures and Blood token payoffs. A 6/6 flying Elder Demon for five mana is already a strong stabilizer, but its real power comes from turning any spare creature into resource conversion, and Angels become especially lucrative by cashing in for Blood equal to their toughness. The activated reanimation ability is the payoff engine: six Blood is a steep cost, but in decks with token makers, treasure-style filtering, or repeatable sacrifice outlets, it can quickly rebuild a board from the graveyard and turn the returned creatures into Vampires for tribal synergies. Pair it with cheap creatures that replace themselves, death-trigger payoffs, and creatures you’re happy to recur with finality counters, since the effect is best when you can exploit the revived board immediately rather than rely on repeated loops.
