Endrek Sahr, Master Breeder

Endrek Sahr, Master Breeder was originally introduced in the 2006 Magic: The Gathering expansion Coldsnap, a set uniquely designed to simulate a lost expansion from the mid-1990s. The card depicts a central character in the lore of the Ice Age setting, representing a necromancer whose power is balanced by the thematic cost of his experiments turning against him. The mechanics reflect this trade-off by generating Thrull tokens whenever a creature is cast, forcing the player to sacrifice him if the token count grows too high.

The artwork, illustrated by Aleksi Briclot, emphasizes the character’s eerie and obsessive nature through dark, atmospheric tones and sharp character design. As part of The List, which periodically reprints notable cards from the game's history in modern sets like Commander Masters, this specific version serves as a functional reprint for players to utilize in black-aligned commander decks. The design remains well-regarded by fans of the game for its high-risk, high-reward engine and its evocative flavor text.
