Master of the Shadows
Step into the realm of dark sorcery with Cabal Patriarch, a legendary Human Wizard who brings both cunning and power to your Commander deck. For just {2}{B}, you can sacrifice a creature, weakening a target foe by -2/-2 until the end of the turn. This ability not only allows you to control the battlefield but can also trigger valuable effects from creatures like Blood Artist or Falkenrath Noble, turning your sacrifices into life-draining opportunities.
But the Cabal Patriarch doesn’t stop at mere weakening; his second ability lets you exile a creature card from your graveyard for {2}{B}, knocking another target creature down by -2/-2. This synergy enhances your strategy by capitalizing on your dead creatures while keeping your opponents on their toes. The blend of sacrifice and recursion makes him a formidable presence, perfect for any black-centric deck looking to dominate the Commander scene.
