Lord of the Forsaken — Graveyard Architect
Lord of the Forsaken is a compact black finisher that doubles as a graveyard engine. The card name fits its role perfectly: a 6 6 flier with trample that pressures life totals while offering repeated value through sacrifice and milling. Experienced players will note that the activated mill ability creates synergies with self mill and reanimation decks, and the creature can close games both in the air and on the ground thanks to trample.
The secondary ability turns life into colorless mana that is restricted to casting spells from your graveyard. That clause makes this Lord a clean tool for built graveyard strategies rather than a generic ramp piece. In Commander builds from the Tarkir strand this card pairs well with persistent sacrifice fodder, recursion engines, and mill triggers. Add it to your deck if you want a resilient threat that fuels your graveyard plan. Pick one up in Near Mint condition while stock lasts.
