Claim the Abyss
Lord of the Void is a straightforward engine for attrition play. This 7 7 Demon with flying turns a successful strike into immediate card advantage by exiling the top seven cards of the damaged player and animating any creature exiled there. In practical terms the card converts damage into board presence and can bypass typical graveyard hate by pulling threats straight from an opponent library.
In Ravnica Remastered this Lord reads as a late game finisher that forces decision making around blockers and removal. Experienced players will note the timing implications when attacking into empty boards or into tokens that trade poorly. The printed flavor sits well with Golgari and Orzhov strategies that like to turn loss into leverage on the battlefield.
