Spawn of Mayhem

Description

The Spawn of Mayhem stands as a formidable Demon creature within the 2019 Magic: The Gathering Ravnica Allegiance Promos set. Identified by card number 85p and marked with the PRNA set code, this foil Mythic Rare card captures the dark aesthetic of the Ravnica block. Designed by artist Victor Adame Minguez, the card is a staple for enthusiasts of the game’s lore and mechanics, offering a distinct visual appeal that complements its potent in-game presence. In gameplay, this four-mana creature brings immediate pressure to the battlefield. Its primary ability, Spectacle, allows it to be cast for a reduced cost of three black mana if an opponent has lost life earlier in the turn. This flexibility makes it a dynamic addition to decks focused on life drain or aggressive strategies. The card possesses both Flying and Trample, ensuring it can bypass ground-based defenses and deal damage directly to players. The Spawn of Mayhem’s most defining feature is its upkeep trigger. At the beginning of your upkeep, it deals one damage to each player. If your life total drops to ten or less, the creature receives a +1/+1 counter, increasing its power and toughness. This mechanic encourages strategic risk-taking, rewarding players who manage their life totals carefully while punishing opponents who attempt to stabilize. For collectors, the foil finish highlights the card’s status as a sought-after promotional piece, making it a valuable addition to any Magic: The Gathering collection. Whether you are building a competitive deck or curating a set of rare promos, the Spawn of Mayhem offers both mechanical depth and collectible value.
