Command the Shadows with the Pontiff of Blight!
The Pontiff of Blight emerges from the shadows of the battlefield, ready to weave a web of extortion that your opponents will find hard to escape. For just {4}{B}{B}, this Zombie Cleric opens the gates to a new dimension of strategy by allowing you to pay extort whenever you cast a spell. Each time you do, opponents lose life, feeding your dark ambitions while bolstering your army. Imagine the synergy with cards like Kingpin's Pet or Blind Obedience, where the extort mechanic can turn the tide in your favor with each spell you cast, effectively draining your opponents’ resources while you build your forces.
This 2/7 creature not only brings toughness to your board but also enhances your other creatures by granting them the benefits of extort as well. The Pontiff's ability ensures that opponents must think twice before casting their own spells, effectively placing them under constant pressure. It's a must-have for any deck focused on life drain or control. Elevate your game and let the darkness of Baldur's Gate fall under your command!
