Insatiable Hemophage

Description

Insatiable Hemophage is the 93rd card released in the 2020 Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths expansion for Magic: The Gathering. Designed by Antonio José Manzanedo, this Uncommon Nightmare creature carries a mana cost of {3}{B} and boasts a mana value of 4. The card is part of the IKO set code and is printed in black, fitting the game's five-color framework. The card is defined by its unique mutate ability, which allows players to cast it for {2}{B} to place it over or under a target non-Human creature they control. This action causes the target to mutate, combining the top card's characteristics with the abilities of the cards underneath it. Once mutated, Insatiable Hemophage triggers a powerful effect: whenever it mutates, each opponent loses life equal to the number of times this creature has mutated, and its controller gains that same amount of life. Combined with the deathtouch keyword, it presents a persistent threat on the battlefield. Collectors and players alike appreciate the strategic depth this card brings to the game. Its ability to scale in power as it accumulates mutations makes it a versatile addition to various deck archetypes. For those focusing on set collection, this card represents a key piece of the Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths story, showcasing the monstrous creatures native to the region. Whether you are hunting for specific mechanics or building a comprehensive library of Magic: The Gathering cards, Insatiable Hemophage offers both gameplay utility and collectible value.
