Flying, trample
You can't win the game and your opponents can't lose the game.
"Come not between the Nazgûl and his prey! Or he will not slay thee in thy turn. He will bear thee away to the houses of lamentation, where thy flesh shall be devoured, and thy shriveled mind be left naked to the Lidless Eye."

Where it came from
Abyssal Persecutor was originally introduced in the 2010 Worldwake expansion for Magic: The Gathering, designed by the Wizards of the Coast development team to challenge players with a powerful creature that imposes a severe condition on the game state. As a 6/6 creature for four mana with flying and trample, it represents a classic 'high-risk, high-reward' design philosophy, where its devastating combat efficiency is balanced by an ability that prevents its owner from winning the game until it is removed from the battlefield.
The version included in the Tales of Middle-earth Commander set, numbered 525, features the haunting, dark fantasy illustration by Chippy. Known for a distinctive aesthetic that leans into the macabre, Chippy's depiction of the Persecutor solidified the card's iconic status among players who enjoy complex, interactive gameplay. This reprint within a mechanically themed commander deck allowed the card to reach a new audience, maintaining its reputation as a centerpiece for decks built around sacrifice effects and temporary advantages.
