Be'lakor, the Dark Master

Description

Be'lakor, the Dark Master stands as the commanding presence of the Warhammer 40,000 Commander subset within Magic: The Gathering. Released in 2022, this mythic rare card carries the distinct foil treatment and bears the catalog number 6, establishing its place in the crossover collection. As a Legendary Creature — Demon Noble, it brings the chaotic energy of the Warhammer universe into the strategic depths of the MTG format. The card’s design centers on a three-colored mana identity of blue, black, and red, requiring a mana value of six to cast. Its gameplay mechanics are defined by two powerful abilities that reward aggressive demon-centric strategies. Upon entering the battlefield, Be'lakor triggers the Prince of Chaos ability, allowing the player to draw a number of cards equal to the demons already under their control, while simultaneously losing that same amount of life. This high-risk, high-reward dynamic forces players to carefully manage their life total while rapidly expanding their hand. Furthermore, the Lord of Torment ability creates a pervasive threat on the board. Whenever another demon enters the battlefield, Be'lakor deals damage equal to that demon’s power to any target of the controller's choice. This makes the card a formidable engine for demon decks, amplifying the impact of every new unit played. The foil finish enhances the visual appeal of this 6/5 power and toughness creature, making it a standout piece for collectors who appreciate both the artistic crossover and the mechanical depth. Acquiring this mythic rare is a significant step for any Magic: The Gathering enthusiast looking to build a powerful Warhammer 40,000-themed deck or simply add a key artifact to their collection.
