Indulgent Tormentor

Indulgent Tormentor first appeared in the 2014 Magic: The Gathering set Magic 2015. It was designed to occupy the role of a high-impact, flying demon that forces opponents into difficult tactical dilemmas. The creature’s ability to draw cards, deal damage, or sacrifice permanents forces players to choose between diminishing their resources or suffering direct loss, embodying the high-risk, high-reward philosophy often associated with black-aligned creatures in the game.

Artist Wesley Burt provided the illustration for the card, focusing on a sense of dark, imposing majesty that characterizes the demon type. The design aimed to convey an aura of cruel indifference, leaning into the card's mechanical flavor of tormenting an opponent's decision-making process. As part of 'The List'—a curated selection of reprints integrated into later set boosters—this card has been maintained in circulation to provide players with access to older staples and flavorful creature designs that define the game's evolving mechanical landscape.
