Be'lakor, the Dark Master

Description

Be'lakor, the Dark Master stands as a central figure in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, and this Magic: The Gathering interpretation brings that chaotic energy to the tabletop. Released in 2022 as part of the Commander subset, card number 172 is a Mythic Rare foil that captures the essence of the Prince of Chaos. The card serves as a powerful anchor for Demon-focused decks, offering unique mechanics that reward strategic play. The design emphasizes Be'lakor's status as a legendary creature with a mana cost of {3}{U}{B}{R}. As a Demon Noble, he brings significant impact to the game board. Upon entering play, he triggers an effect that allows the player to draw cards equal to the number of Demons they control, while simultaneously losing that same amount of life. This high-risk, high-reward mechanic encourages aggressive strategies and rapid board development. Furthermore, Be'lakor possesses the ability Lord of Torment. Whenever another Demon enters the battlefield under your control, this card deals damage equal to that Demon's power to any target. This ability creates a snowballing effect, making every new Demon entry a threat to opponents. Collectors and players alike appreciate the synergy this card provides within the Warhammer 40,000 theme of Magic: The Gathering. The foil finish adds a premium tactile element, making it a desirable addition to any collection focused on the intersection of tabletop gaming and science fiction lore. Whether used for competitive play or simply to showcase a high-rarity piece of gaming history, Be'lakor remains a standout card in the Commander format.
