Unleash the Fire of Durin's Bane!
Step into the realm of Middle-earth with The Balrog, Durin's Bane, a legendary creature that brings both awe and dread to the battlefield.

Its ability to be cast for less mana when permanents are sacrificed adds a strategic layer to your gameplay, allowing you to channel the destructive power of the Balrog with cunning precision. Haste ensures that this formidable foe strikes fear upon entering the fray, creating immediate pressure on your opponents.
