Shilgengar, Sire of Famine
From Modern Horizons 3, Shilgengar, Sire of Famine arrives as a calculating elder demon with a reliable midrange presence. For {3}{B}{B}, you get a 6/6 flying threat that adds a durable top end to your curve. Its first ability invites you to sacrifice another creature to create a Blood token, a compact resource that fuels later plays. If the sacrificed creature was an Angel, you gain additional Blood tokens equal to its toughness, rewarding precise sequencing and tempo with the graveyard in mind.
Beyond the immediate pressure, Shilgengar builds toward a swingy late game. Its second line costs a notable amount to activate and reads Sacrifice six Blood tokens: Return each creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield with a finality counter on it. Those creatures are Vampires in addition to their other types. In practical terms, the card can reestablish a flooded graveyard, bringing back multiple threats with new types andTurning the battlefield in your favor when the board state tightens.
