Blight Mound

Description

Blight Mound, card number 36 in the Commander 2021 set, is a distinctive black enchantment that brings strategic depth to Magic: The Gathering gameplay. Designed by Oriana Menendez, this rare card features a mana cost of {2}{B} and offers powerful effects for players building decks around insect and pest themes. When attacking, your Pest creatures gain +1/+0 power and the menace keyword, making them difficult for opponents to block effectively. Additionally, whenever a non-token creature you control dies, Blight Mound creates a 1/1 black and green Pest creature token. These tokens provide a continuous life-gain engine, as each one deals 1 life when it dies, helping to stabilize your board state over time. Collectors value this card not only for its mechanical utility but also for its place in the Commander format's history. For investors and hobbyists, owning this enchantment adds variety to any Magic: The Gathering collection, bridging the gap between competitive play and aesthetic appreciation. The card's ability to generate token value from creature death makes it a versatile tool in many black-based strategies.
