Description

Syr Konrad, the Grim is a distinctive Legendary Creature — Human Knight from the 2024 Magic: The Gathering expansion, Duskmourn: House of Horror. Printed as card number 158 in the Commander subset, this card captures the eerie atmosphere of the set while delivering potent mechanical value for strategic gameplay.

Additionally, the card offers a activated ability that allows each player to mill a card by paying one black mana and one black mana. This milling effect adds another layer of strategic depth, potentially disrupting opponents' draws while advancing your own game plan. The card's black mana cost and color identity make it a natural fit for mono-black or black-based Commander decks. Syr Konrad, the Grim represents the intersection of horror-themed storytelling and competitive design, making it a sought-after piece for enthusiasts. Whether you are building a new deck or expanding your collection, this card offers both mechanical intrigue and aesthetic appeal.
