Pile On
Pile On is a compact removal spell that scales with a token army. It casts for three and a black mana yet convoke lets your board subsidize the cost, which turns a crowded battlefield into efficient answers. Use it to remove a key blocker or a troublesome planeswalker while preserving tempo, then follow up with surveil two to sculpt your next draws and fuel your graveyard for later plays.
This printing stays true to the Commander set tone where aristocratic dread meets mechanical synergy. Experienced players will value the timing flexibility instant speed grants and the way convoke shifts resource math in multiplayer games. The card reads cleanly and performs predictably, which makes it a reliable slot in black decks that expect to trade creature for creature while advancing graveyard plans.
