Master the Battlefield with Baleful Beholder
The Baleful Beholder brings formidable versatility to any black deck in Adventures in the Forgotten Realms. This 6/5 Beholder creature demands attention with its intimidating presence and tactical flexibility. Upon entering the battlefield, you must choose between two potent effects: forcing each opponent to sacrifice an enchantment via Antimagic Cone, or granting your creatures menace until the end of the turn through Fear Ray. Both options can shift the tempo of the game, whether by disrupting enchantment-heavy strategies or enabling aggressive attacks that challenge blockers.
Baleful Beholder’s synergy is particularly noticeable with decks that rely on enchantments—forcing opponents to lose critical resources—or with those built around evasive and aggressive creatures that benefit from menace. Its high toughness and power make it a reliable threat that can swing combat phases decisively. This Near Mint Foil Showcase version adds a collectible appeal for players looking to enhance their decks with a visually striking and tactically rewarding card from the Adventures in the Forgotten Realms set.
