Magus of the Abyss

Description

The Magus of the Abyss is a distinct entry in the Magic: The Gathering Commander 2017 set, identified by card number 115. As a Rare creature with the type Human Wizard, this card brings a specific strategic presence to the game. Featuring a mana cost of {3}{B} and a mana value of 4, it fits into black mana strategies effectively. The card’s power and toughness are set at 4/3, providing a solid body on the battlefield. The defining feature of this card is its activated ability, which triggers at the beginning of each player's upkeep. This effect allows the controller to destroy a target nonartifact creature controlled by any player. Crucially, the targeted creature cannot be regenerated, making this a reliable removal tool that can shift the board state in favor of the owner. This continuous threat forces opponents to manage their resources carefully, as they must account for potential loss of creatures every turn. Art by Kev Walker, the visual design complements the card’s flavor text, which describes a figure climbing a staircase of falling souls while resisting the pull of the void. Whether building a Commander deck or looking to complete a collection of Rare cards from this era, the Magus of the Abyss offers both aesthetic and mechanical appeal. The card remains a notable piece for enthusiasts of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, representing the creative and strategic depth of the Commander format.
