The Phyrexian Plaguelord is a rare black creature card from the Commander 2015 expansion, identified by card number 131 and set code C15. As a Creature — Phyrexian Carrier, this card enters the battlefield with a mana value of 5 and a power/toughness of 4/4. Designed by Kev Walker, the card serves as a key component for collectors focusing on the Phyrexian subset or those interested in the Commander 2015 product line. The card's rules text provides two distinct triggered abilities that utilize the sacrifice mechanic. By tapping the Phyrexian Plaguelord and sacrificing it, a player can target a creature to give it -4/-4 until end of turn. Alternatively, sacrificing another creature allows the controller to give a target creature -1/-1 until end of turn. These effects make the card a flexible tool for dealing with larger threats or clearing the board, fitting well within decks that utilize sacrifice strategies. This card is part of the Commander 2015 set and features the Phyrexian Plaguelord creature. The flavor text, quoting Phyrexian progress notes about delirium and death, adds narrative depth to the card's identity within the Magic: The Gathering universe. Whether used for casual play or competitive formats, the Phyrexian Plaguelord remains a notable addition to any collection of Commander 2015 cards. Its straightforward design and impactful abilities have kept it relevant among fans of the game's black mana color identity.
