Imskir Iron-Eater Artifact Driven Demon
Imskir Iron-Eater sits as a formidable figure on the battlefield, its molten profile blazing in the art. A legendary demon from Modern Horizons 3, it comes with a heavy mana cost of {6}{B}{B} but carries a sturdy 5/5 body and a meaningful set of abilities. Affinity for artifacts reduces its cast cost based on how many artifacts you control, which can accelerate its arrival in artifact heavy strategies. When it enters the battlefield, you draw X cards and you lose X life, where X is half the number of artifacts you control, rounded down, creating a deliberate swing that rewards planning. The art depicts a towering demon wrapped in flame, radiating pressure as it asserts presence on the field.
Its strength continues through an activated ability that can reshape the board state. For {3}{B}, Sacrifice an artifact: Imskir deals damage equal to the sacrificed artifact's mana value to any target. This gives you a flexible burn option that scales with your artifact pool, enabling reach or removal as needed. In practice, Imskir rewards players who balance artifact generation with risk management, weaving together sacrifice, life loss, and card draw into a cohesive engine that fits Modern Horizons 3's artifact demon identity.
