Summon the Shadows: Pontiff of Blight
Step into the foreboding realm of Pontiff of Blight, a formidable ally for any Commander deck that thrives on life manipulation and extortion. This rare creature embodies the essence of the Undead, combining the cunning of a Zombie with the authority of a Cleric.

With its haunting presence and strategic prowess, the Pontiff of Blight proves invaluable in multiplayer formats, where its ability to extort multiple opponents can turn the tide of battle. As your foes scramble to defend against your relentless life drain, you'll find yourself in a dominant position. Whether you’re building around a Zombie-themed deck or simply looking to exploit your opponents’ weaknesses, this card will keep your opponents on their toes.
