Malfegor

Description

Malfegor is a Legendary Creature — Demon Dragon from the Magic: The Gathering Commander 2011 set, identified as card number 208. Printed in 2011, this card holds Mythic Rare status within the Commander (CMD) set, making it a notable inclusion for collectors of the franchise. The card requires a mana cost of {2}{B}{B}{R}{R}, totaling a mana value of 6, and features the colors black and red. As a 6/6 creature, Malfegor brings significant presence to the battlefield. Its abilities include Flying, allowing it to evade most ground-based blockers. Upon entering the battlefield, it triggers a distinct effect: the controller must discard their entire hand. For each card discarded in this manner, each opponent sacrifices a creature of their choice. This creates a high-stakes interaction that can rapidly clear the board, though it requires careful resource management from the player controlling Malfegor. The flavor text reinforces its nature, noting that a demon cannot be trusted and a dragon will not be ruled. Designed by Jason Chan, Malfegor represents a specific era of Magic: The Gathering design focused on powerful, singular threats in the Commander format. Collectors often target this card for its high rarity tier and its role in defining the power level of the 2011 Commander release. Whether building a thematic deck around demon and dragon synergies or simply seeking to complete the Commander 2011 checklist, this card remains a central piece of the set's identity. The combination of its high mana value, flying ability, and disruptive entry effect makes Malfegor a memorable artifact of modern trading card game history.
