Crossbones, Malicious Mercenary
Oracle Text
Deathtouch
Whenever another Villain you control enters, put a +1/+1 counter on Crossbones. He deals 2 damage to each opponent. This ability triggers only once each turn.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Crossbones, Malicious Mercenary is a clean value engine for a villain-focused midrange or aggro shell, rewarding you for doing what black decks already like: curving out with threatening bodies and turning combat into a tax. A 3/3 deathtouch for four mana makes him awkward to attack into, and his triggered ability turns every additional Villain into immediate board pressure by growing him and pinging all opponents for 2, once each turn. That makes him especially strong in multiplayer, where repeated triggers can quietly swing life totals while building a must-answer threat. He pairs well with cheap Villains, flash enablers, or token makers that can add a Villain on each turn cycle, maximizing the once-per-turn clause. If your deck can reliably trigger him on opponents’ turns, he becomes a steady source of incremental advantage rather than just a body, fitting best in a proactive black-based value strategy.
