Midnight Reaper
Oracle Text
Whenever a nontoken creature you control dies, this creature deals 1 damage to you and you draw a card.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Midnight Reaper is a classic black value engine that rewards you for treating death as a resource rather than a setback. In a sacrifice-heavy or aristocrats-style plan, it turns every nontoken creature death into a card, making it especially strong in midrange and combo shells that want steady gas while trading creatures aggressively. At three mana for a 3/2 body, it also pressures life totals and can chip in while your board is collapsing around it. The drawback is real, so deckbuilding should account for it: pair Reaper with lifegain, sacrifice outlets, and cheap recursive creatures like Bloodghast-style threats or death-trigger fodder to offset the self-inflicted damage and keep the cards flowing. In lore terms, it feels like a grim knight who harvests every fallen ally for momentum, which fits the card’s role perfectly—your creatures die, and the Reaper makes sure their end becomes your advantage.
