Kaervek, the Punisher — Graveyard Guillotine

Kaervek, the Punisher arrives as a low cost engine of attrition. As a Legendary Creature Human Warlock for {1}{B} with a 3 3 body, Kaervek turns each crime trigger into card advantage by exiling a black card from your graveyard and copying it. The copy is castable immediately at the cost printed on the copy and the exchange is blunt. If you elect to cast the copy you lose 2 life. That choice defines many lines of play from tempo swings to late game value.

Play him in a deck that fills the yard and values repeatable extraction of removal or threats. Kaervek pairs cleanly with self mill, discard outlets and crime synergies that let you trigger his ability multiple times in a turn. The showcase foil art emphasizes his imposing presence while the printed rules text keeps interactions straightforward for judges and opponents.
