Rakshasa in the Marsh
Gurmag Rakshasa arrives as a compact threat that bends combat math in your favor. This Near Mint Foil from Tarkir Dragonstorm presents the creature as a 5 5 Demon with menace, which forces opponents to commit multiple blockers or concede damage. The enter the battlefield exchange of -2/-2 to an opponent's creature and +2/+2 to one of your creatures makes it a tidy tempo play that kills small blockers while protecting or enhancing a relevant attacker.
Practically, Gurmag Rakshasa fills a role in midrange and sacrifice shells where efficient board trades matter. The foil finish gives table presence without changing play patterns and Near Mint condition ensures it is ready for tournament play or a focused Commander slot. If you pilot black decks that prize incremental advantage and disruptive combat tricks, this Rakshasa is a reliable, straightforward inclusion that pairs well with removal and pump effects.
