Shilgengar, Sire of Famine
Shilgengar makes a stark impression on the battlefield with a wingspan and presence that demand respect. It costs {3}{B}{B} and has flying, which lets it pressure opponents while you build your own board state. Its first ability taps into the graveyard economy: sacrifice another creature to create a Blood token, and if you sacrificed an Angel this way you generate Blood tokens equal to its toughness. That interaction rewards planning and timing, letting you press through damage or fuel your token engine as the game unfolds. The feel is classic black resource management with a modern twist, ideal for mid to late game control and punishment strategies.
The second ability offers a potent reanimation angle. For {3}{B}{B}, sacrifice six Blood tokens to return each creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield with a finality counter on it. Those creatures come back as Vampires in addition to their other types, creating surprising board states and fresh feeds for your synergies. In practice this card blends aerial aggression with a brutal graveyard plan, letting you topple stalled boards and reestablish your dominion through resilient threats that scale with your token and graveyard play.
