Unleash the Fiery Fury
Introducing The Balrog, Durin's Bane, a fearsome addition to your Magic repertoire that embodies the essence of dread and power. This Legendary Creature not only has a commanding presence on the battlefield with a formidable 7/5 body but also brings the might of darkness with its unique abilities.
