Description
Demonic Hordes is a rare creature card identified as number 104 in the 1993 Magic: The Gathering Collectors' Edition. Illustrated by Jesper Myrfors, this black demon creature demands a mana cost of {3}{B}{B}{B} and possesses a power and toughness of 5/5. The card’s strategic impact comes from its active ability, which allows the controller to destroy a target land, and its upkeep cost, which forces the player to either pay three black mana or sacrifice an opponent’s chosen land. This mechanic makes it a formidable presence in the game, reflecting the dark themes central to the black color identity. The card remains a staple in discussions about early Magic strategic depth. Its enduring appeal lies in its powerful land-denial capabilities and its status as a key piece of early TCG history. Whether building a nostalgic collection or analyzing vintage deck archetypes, Demonic Hordes represents a significant aspect of the 1993 release. The Collectors' Edition itself is highly regarded for its premium production quality and comprehensive inclusion of early cards, making each card, including this demon, a valued item for serious hobbyists.
