Woebringer Demon

Description

The Woebringer Demon, numbered 98 in the 2024 Ravnica Remastered expansion, is a distinct black uncommon creature card within the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Designed by Daren Bader, this card brings a menacing presence to the table with a mana cost of three generic and two black mana, resulting in a mana value of five. As a 4/4 Creature — Demon, it possesses the flying keyword, allowing it to bypass ground-based blockers and apply immediate pressure to opponents. Beyond its offensive capabilities, the Woebringer Demon offers a strategic defensive mechanism that defines its gameplay role. At the beginning of each player's upkeep, the controller of the demon requires the opposing player to sacrifice a creature of their choice. This ability forces difficult decisions in the early game, potentially clearing the board of threats or forcing the opponent to sacrifice their own key pieces. If the player cannot sacrifice a creature, the Woebringer Demon itself is sacrificed, creating a dynamic risk-reward scenario that rewards careful resource management. The Woebringer Demon stands out as a fan-favorite due to its flavorful design and the psychological pressure it exerts during play. The flavor text, "Each soul he devours adds its hunger to his own," complements the mechanical threat of the card, enhancing its thematic appeal. Whether used in constructed formats or casual games, this card represents a solid addition to any black-aligned deck. The combination of flying and a disruptive upkeep ability makes the Woebringer Demon a memorable and versatile piece of the Ravnica Remastered collection.
