Character Background

Koh, the Face Stealer reads like a midrange/value centerpiece that doubles as a toolbox engine: its 6/6 body buys time while it steadily exiles opposing and sacrificial creatures, then steals their functional identities for incremental advantage. Thematically it mirrors the mythic horror of a spirit that keeps trophies—mechanically you pick the last exiled creature’s activated and triggered abilities, so you want creatures with repeatable, gamey abilities to populate its exile pile. Deckbuilding tip: pair Koh with a sacrifice package (Viscera Seer, Phyrexian Altar, or cheap self-sac creatures) and targeted removal to reliably feed non-token creatures into its exile, and include a handful of high-value creatures whose activated or triggered effects you’d happily pay 1 life to graft onto Koh. It’s less aggro and more value/control — seize tempo with removal, lock opponents out by repeatedly adopting utility abilities, and beware of exile- or shuffle-out effects that interrupt its trophy collection.
