Shilgengar, Sire of Famine
Shilgengar, Sire of Famine costs {3}{B}{B} and stands as a 6/6 Legendary Creature with Flying. This Elder Demon threads into black midrange and reanimator plans, leveraging its bite-sized power to pressure a crowded skies while its sac-based toolkit expands your resource base. Its first ability invites careful sequencing: sacrifice another creature to create a Blood token, and if you sacrificed an Angel this way, you gain a swelling return of Blood tokens proportional to that creature’s toughness. The mechanism rewards thoughtful tempo and punishes reckless play by turning losses into fresh resources that feed future plays.
The second ability centers on the graveyard as a resource, offering a robust reanimation loop. For {B}{B} and two Blood tokens, you return each creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield with a finality counter on it, and those creatures arrive as Vampires in addition to their other types. This can swing races and reconfigure late-game boards, especially when combined with synergies that leverage Blood tokens or bolster vampiric synergies. The result is a threatening, versatile plan that keeps the battlefield crowded with threats while keeping your opponent on the clock.
