Infernal Sovereign

Description

The Infernal Sovereign appears as card number 75 in the 2023 March of the Machine Commander subset for Magic: The Gathering. This release is categorized as a foil mythic rare demon creature, distinguishing it within the broader set through its premium finish and high rarity tier. Collectors often seek this card for its striking visual presentation and its role as a formidable presence on the battlefield. As a six-mana creature with six power and six toughness, the Infernal Sovereign commands attention. It possesses both flying and trample, allowing it to navigate complex board states effectively. The card’s rules text introduces a strategic trade-off: players skip their draw step but gain the ability to draw a card and lose one life whenever they play a land or cast a spell. This mechanic encourages aggressive gameplay and resource management, appealing to builders who enjoy high-risk, high-reward strategies. Art by Chris Rallis, the card embodies the dark, oppressive aesthetic typical of the Phyrexian themes explored in the March of the Machine expansion. The flavor text hints at the subject's dominion over Dominaria, positioning the demon as a conqueror rather than a mere servant. For collectors, this mythic rare represents a key piece of the set's narrative arc, offering both aesthetic appeal and mechanical depth. Whether used in constructed formats or casual games, the Infernal Sovereign stands out as a powerful and visually distinct addition to any Magic: The Gathering collection.
