Unleash the Flame of the Ancients
Meet The Balrog, Durin's Bane, a formidable force from the depths of Moria, ready to engulf your opponents in fiery despair. As a Legendary Creature, this Avatar Demon commands the battlefield with an impressive 7/5 power and toughness, making it a daunting adversary. The unique ability to reduce its mana cost based on sacrificed permanents adds a strategic twist, allowing you to unleash this dark terror even faster. Pair it with cards like Scapegoat or Diabolic Intent to fuel your sacrifices and watch as the Balrog rises to dominate the fray.
This creature not only hits hard but possesses Haste, meaning it can strike immediately, punishing unsuspecting foes who dare to stand against its might. When the Balrog departs from the battlefield, it can also target artifacts or creatures, giving you a tactical edge. With its striking artwork and lore rich in history, this card is not just a powerful addition to your deck; it's a conversation starter among fellow planeswalkers.
