Balemurk Overlord — Claim the Night
Overlord of the Balemurk is a late-game finisher that rewards patient resource management and graveyard synergy. In play it establishes a heavy board presence and pulls value from your yard, letting you rebuild after trades or sacrifice lines. Players who pilot control or aristocrat shells will recognize the card as a pivot that turns attrition into inevitability.
The card meshes with Duskmourn flavor by leaning into reclamation and menace rather than flashy combo. Expect it to close out stalled games while interacting smoothly with removal and exile hate. Practical advice from the table: protect it with countermagic or removal tax and use recurring effects to keep pressure across multiple turns.
