Description
Designed by Anthony S. Waters, this rare creature card functions as a Lhurgoyf, meaning its power and toughness are not fixed but instead scale dynamically based on the number of creature cards present in all graveyards across the table. This mechanic encourages players to build decks that prioritize graveyard accumulation, turning discarded creatures into a formidable defensive and offensive force. As a product of the Commander format, this card supports the multiplayer, singleton gameplay style that defines the series. The inclusion of a regeneration ability allows the Mortivore to survive removal spells for one additional turn, providing a crucial buffer for players to execute their strategies. For collectors, the card serves as a notable piece of Magic history, representing the creative direction of the 2011 Commander box set. Enthusiasts of the trading card game often seek this card to complete their Commander collections or to integrate its unique scaling mechanics into their own custom decks. Whether you are looking to expand your library of rare creatures or add depth to your graveyard-focused strategies, this card remains a staple for those who appreciate complex interactions. The card's design and rules text reflect the innovative spirit of the Commander series, making it a valuable addition for any serious collector of Magic: The Gathering memorabilia and game components.

Abilities, attacks, oracle text, and flavor text printed on the card.
Mortivore's power and toughness are each equal to the number of creature cards in all graveyards. {B}: Regenerate this creature. (The next time this creature would be destroyed this turn, instead tap it, remove it from combat, and heal all damage on it.)
The light sigh of its breath whistles through its bones.
