Flavor Text:
"Kill Count? I Lost Track Years ago."
Artist: Jakub Kasper
Strengths:
-
Grows about Time: This creature can accumulate +1/ +1 counter, Becoming Increasingly Powerful when you sacrifice other creatures.
-
Evasive Ability: Can gain Menace for a relatively low cost, making it difficult to block.
-
Low Casting Cost: At just {b} {r}, it is easy to play early and fits well in rakdos-colored decks.
Weaknesses:
-
Requires Sacrifices: Its strength is gapping on sacrifying other creatures, which may not always be beneficial or possible.
-
Initial Weakness: Starts as a 2/2, making it vulnerable to common removal spells.
Potential Deck Placement:
- Would work well in a rakdos sacrifice or aristocrats-style deck, where the sacrification of creatures is a common play pattern.
- Could also find a home in aggressive rakdos decks that use sacrifice as a way to clear blockers or enable other synergies.
Flavor and Art:
The Flavor Text Suggests A Ruthless Character, Emphasized by the Menacing Art, Perfect for Rakdos Themes.
Overall impression:
Body dropper sacrifices a solid package for decks that are already interested in sacrifying creatures. Its ability to grow and gain evasion makes it a threat that can't be ignored, but its dependence on a specific mechanic limits its versatility.
