Unleash Demonic Might with Orcus, Prince of Undeath
Orcus, Prince of Undeath represents a formidable presence on any battlefield, combining the raw power of a demon with strategic versatility that commands respect. His ability to either decimate opposing creatures or resurrect your fallen forces creates a dynamic swing in game tempo. Flying and trample allow him to bypass blockers and deal damage efficiently, making each attack a threat to your opponent’s life total.
This legendary demon thrives in decks that can capitalize on graveyard recursion, synergizing well with cards that fill your graveyard quickly or benefit from haste, such as Queen of the Dead or Blood for Bones. While the life loss from his destructive mode is a cost to weigh carefully, the potential board reset or mass revival can redefine a match’s trajectory. A centerpiece for any midrange or control deck aiming for a dramatic comeback or a brutal finish.
