Sephiroth, Fabled SOLDIER: Tactical Devastation on the Battlefield
Sephiroth, Fabled SOLDIER brings a unique blend of sacrifice and card advantage to your Magic deck, perfectly capturing the strategic depth found in Final Fantasy’s lore. For {2}{B}, this Legendary Creature - Human Avatar Soldier enters the battlefield with a 3/3 frame but holds potential far beyond its stats. Each time Sephiroth enters or attacks, you have the option to sacrifice another creature, triggering a card draw that fuels your hand for future plays. This mechanic encourages careful board management and synergy with tokens or expendable creatures.
What makes Sephiroth truly compelling is his reactive ability that punishes opponents each time a creature dies. Your target opponent loses life equal to the number of creatures that have died, and you gain life, turning board wipes and trades into a slow bleed advantage. If this effect triggers four times in a single turn, Sephiroth transforms into a more powerful form, reflecting his legendary status. This card fits seamlessly into black-centric decks that prioritize attrition and incremental gain, offering both resilience and pressure.
