Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Merchant of Venom is a sneaky value engine that fits best in sacrifice-heavy midrange or control shells, where every death on the table becomes fuel for a growing threat. A 1/1 menace body for four mana is modest, but the enter-the-battlefield trigger forces each player to make a painful trade, and the card quietly snowballs whenever any player sacrifices a permanent, not just creatures. That makes it especially strong alongside edict effects, fetch lands, Treasure-making, and repeatable sacrifice outlets, since even your own resource management can grow it into a serious attacker. In gameplay terms, it rewards tempo and attrition: clear the board, pressure life totals, and turn incidental sacrifices into permanent size. The Cat Warlock flavor feels like a shrewd Strixhaven broker, selling poison and bargaining away stability, and the menace keyword helps it push through once it has grown beyond a nuisance.
