Shilgengar, Sire of Famine: A Blood Economy Demon
Shilgengar lands with a formidable wingspan and a concrete plan for battlefield control. With a mana cost of {3}{B}{B}, this 6/6 legendary Elder Demon poses a persistent aerial threat while enabling a compact sacrifice engine. Its first ability prompts you to sac a creature to forge a Blood token, and if that sacrifice involved an Angel, you gain a scalable payoff by creating Blood tokens equal to its toughness instead.
The second option leverages a graveyard payoff. By paying {B} and sacrificing five Blood tokens, you return each creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield with a blood counter on it. Those creatures arrive as Vampires in addition to their other types, broadening your board presence and layering synergies with other effects that care about type or counters.
