Ribtruss Roaster

Description

The Ribtruss Roaster is a 2026 Rare Creature — Troll Druid from the Magic: The Gathering Secrets of Strixhaven Commander subset, identified by card number 43. This green mana card requires a mana cost of {4}{G} and holds a mana value of 5. Designed by Steve Ellis, the card brings a distinct tactical presence to the Commander format with its unique interaction capabilities. The card’s primary mechanic is Devour 1, which allows players to sacrifice any number of creatures as it enters the battlefield. For each sacrificed creature, the Ribtruss Roaster enters with a +1/+1 counter, immediately increasing its power and toughness from its base 3/3. This mechanic encourages strategic resource management, rewarding players who can leverage their board state to create a more formidable threat. Beyond its initial entry, the Ribtruss Roaster offers ongoing value through its end-step trigger. At the beginning of the controller's end step, the card creates a number of 1/1 black and green Pest creature tokens equal to the number of +1/+1 counters on it. These Pest tokens come with a built-in benefit: when each token dies, the player gains 1 life. This synergy turns the Ribtruss Roaster into a resilient engine that can stabilize a game while applying pressure. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering trading cards often seek out cards from the Secrets of Strixhaven Commander subset for their unique design and gameplay potential. The Ribtruss Roaster stands out as a notable addition to any collection, offering both aesthetic appeal and mechanical depth. Its combination of creature sacrifice, counter placement, and token generation makes it a versatile piece for enthusiasts looking to expand their collection or enhance their Commander decks with strategic options.
