Balemurk Overlord
Overlord of the Balemurk arrives as a practical choice for graveyard and sacrifice strategies in Duskmourn House of Horror. In play it pressures opponents with a steady board toll and converts attrition into a growing threat, making it reliable in midrange and control shells that lean into black removal and recursion. The card reads like a tool you bring when you expect the game to grind long.
From a lore angle the Overlord is the house master who collects favors in the form of bones and bargains, and that flavor matches its in game function. Expect straightforward timing windows where this creature turns small trades into long term advantage; place it where removal is least likely and build around tokens or self mill to maximize value.
