Arbiter of Woe — Judgment from the Abyss
Arbiter of Woe is a straightforward but impactful Demon that trades board presence for a powerful entry effect. The card Arbiter of Woe forces each opponent to discard and lose life when it enters, while you replace the loss with card advantage and life gain. Its 5/4 body and flying make it a pressure piece in the air and a reliable threat to close out games once you have a sacrificial outlet.
Play patterns favor decks that can pay the additional cost without losing tempo. Arbiter of Woe rewards decks built around sacrifice synergies and resilient creatures that can be exchanged for immediate value. Use it to punish hand reliant opponents, stabilize your life total, and refill your hand in one clean sequence.
