Harvester of Misery

Description

Harvester of Misery is a five-mana creature card from the 2026 Magic: The Gathering The Big Score Promos set, identified by the card number 9p. Classified as a mythic rare, this Spirit creature commands attention with a mana cost of three generic and two black mana, resulting in a mana value of five. The card features a power and toughness of 5/4, providing a substantial presence on the battlefield for players utilizing black mana strategies. The card's design, illustrated by Jorge Jacinto, centers around aggressive disruption and board control. It possesses the menace keyword, requiring opponents to block with at least two creatures to prevent damage. This mechanical trait makes it a formidable attacker that pressures defenses effectively. Beyond its attack capabilities, Harvester of Misery offers potent entry effects that weaken opposing forces. When played, it causes other creatures to receive -2/-2 until the end of the turn, significantly reducing the threat level of opponents' boards immediately upon summoning. For collectors and players alike, the 9p designation marks this as a distinct promo release within the broader Magic: The Gathering ecosystem. The ability to discard this card to deal -2/-2 to a target creature adds a layer of tactical flexibility, allowing players to remove key threats or finish off weakened opponents. This dual functionality—as both a resilient attacker and a disruptive tool—makes Harvester of Misery a notable addition to the 2026 promo cycle. Enthusiasts of the game often seek out mythic rare promos for their visual appeal and mechanical uniqueness, and this Spirit fits that category with its straightforward yet impactful rules text.
