Valgavoth Stalks the Grave
Valgavoth, Terror Eater is a heavy finish for control or sacrifice decks from Duskmourn House of Horror. This legendary Elder Demon arrives as a 9/9 with flying and lifelink, a body that closes races while replenishing your life total. Its ward ability forces a steep cost of sacrificing three nonland permanents to target it, so plan your board and timing accordingly; once it resolves it starts rewiring the game by exiling cards headed for your opponents graveyards rather than letting them land there.
That exile clause turns opponent resources into a private cache you can raid during your turn. You may play cards exiled with Valgavoth and if you cast spells that way you pay life equal to their mana value rather than paying their mana costs. The effect rewards careful sequencing and a willingness to trade life for tempo or value, and it feeds well into both reanimation style builds and combo lines that leverage exiled instants or creatures. Add this mythic to decks that want a late game lock piece and a reliable way to repurpose enemy graveyard interactions.
