Scourge of the Throne — Unleash the Extra Combat
Scourge of the Throne is a commanding red finisher that rewards aggression and careful timing. As a 5 5 Dragon with flying and dethrone, it grows when it pressures the player with the highest life total. Its triggered ability creates an immediate tempo swing by untapping attacking creatures and granting an additional combat phase when it attacks the player with the most life or is tied for most life. This card fits neatly into decks that aim to close games quickly or to chain multiple combat steps for value.
On the lore side Scourge of the Throne reads like a warlord of the skies bent on overturning the balance at Karlov Manor. In play it forces opponents to choose whether to trade life to avoid extra combat or accept the risk of facing a fresh wave of attackers. Experienced players will time its attack around combat tricks and pump effects to turn a single attack into a game ending sequence.
