At a hefty mana cost of \u003cb\u003e{5}{B}{B}{B}\u003c\/b\u003e, this 4\/4 Legendary Creature offers more than raw stats; it imbues all Demons you control with menace, lifelink, and haste, turning your board into a swift and resilient nightmare. This synergy alone shifts combat dynamics, forcing opponents to reconsider blocking strategies against your relentless assault.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe real edge comes from Ardyn’s \u003ci\u003eStarscourge\u003c\/i\u003e ability, which triggers at the beginning of combat on your turn. It lets you exile a creature card from any graveyard and generate a 5\/5 black Demon token copy of that card. This mechanic introduces graveyard interaction and token generation into your strategy, expanding board presence while leveraging your opponent’s losses. For decks built around Demons or graveyard recursion, Ardyn’s ability opens tactical layers that reward careful planning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCard Details:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMana Cost\u003c\/b\u003e: {5}{B}{B}{B}\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCard Type\u003c\/b\u003e: Legendary Creature\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSubtypes\u003c\/b\u003e: Elder Human Noble\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCard Text\u003c\/b\u003e:\n    Demons you control have menace, lifelink, and haste.\u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003ci\u003eStarscourge\u003c\/i\u003e — At the beginning of combat on your turn, exile up to one target creature card from a graveyard.
