Unleash the Wrath of the Balrog!
Step into the shadows of Moria with The Balrog, Durin's Bane, a formidable Legendary Creature that embodies the essence of both fire and fury. For a mere {5}{B}{R}, you can summon this Avatar Demon to your battlefield, bringing with it the ability to strike fear into the hearts of your opponents. With Haste, this creature is ready to dominate the game the moment it emerges from the depths, and its devastating ability to destroy target creatures makes it a ruthless addition to any deck.
But beware: The Balrog isn’t merely a powerhouse. Its cost reduction for each permanent sacrificed adds a strategic layer, allowing you to execute devastating combos with cards like Witch’s Cauldron or Altar of Dementia. Consider using it alongside Grave Pact to maintain board control. Pair it with sacrificial synergies, and you'll find yourself with a powerful ally that can turn the tide of battle in an instant.
