Lord of the Forsaken

Description

The Lord of the Forsaken stands as a formidable 6/6 Demon creature in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, originally released in 2021 as part of the Innistrad: Midnight Hunt Promos set. Identified by card number 110p and the PMID set code, this foil mythic rare card carries a mana cost of four generic mana and two black mana. Designed by Kekai Kotaki, the card offers players a potent threat that combines flying and trample, allowing it to bypass blockers and strike directly for damage. Strategically, the Lord of the Forsaken supports graveyard-centric decks with its unique abilities. Its first ability allows a player to sacrifice another creature to mill three cards from a target player’s library, effectively thinning their resources or setting up graveyard synergies. The second ability lets the controller pay one life to add one colorless mana, which can only be spent to cast spells from their own graveyard. This mechanic encourages players to build around the graveyard as a resource, making the card a valuable addition for those who enjoy complex, recursive gameplay. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering appreciate the Lord of the Forsaken for its high rarity and distinct foil treatment within the promotional release. As a mythic rare, it holds a place of prestige among cards from the Innistrad block era. The card’s design and mechanics reflect the dark, gothic atmosphere typical of the Innistrad setting, appealing to fans of the franchise’s horror-themed narrative.
