Oracle Text
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Scathing Shadelock // Venomous Words reads like a classic Strixhaven-style spellbound threat: a hulking Snake Warlock on one face, then a cheaper sorcery that suggests the kind of poisonous rhetoric black mages love to weaponize. With a 4/6 body for six mana, the creature side is built to stabilize the board rather than race, making it a strong fit for control or midrange shells that want to trade early, then land a resilient finisher. Because the name implies a spell-focused back face, it naturally rewards decks that care about casting instants and sorceries, leveraging spell payoffs, recursion, or discard synergy. In practice, pair it with cheap interaction and card draw so you can survive to the late game, then use the Shadelock as a durable blocker that turns the corner. If your list includes graveyard-matters or spell-cast triggers, this card should slot in as both a threat and a value engine.
