What it does
Malignus's power and toughness are each equal to half the highest life total among your opponents, rounded up.
Damage that would be dealt by this creature can't be prevented.
It descended on Estwald like a sudden storm. Moments later, only ashes and agony remained.

Where it came from
Malignus was released in May 2012 as part of the Avacyn Restored expansion for Magic: The Gathering. This set marked the conclusion of the Innistrad block, a gothic horror-themed setting that emphasized the struggle between humanity and supernatural threats. The card was designed as a mythic rare creature intended to represent the manifestation of fear and chaos within the game's lore.
The card’s illustration was created by artist Greg Staples, who utilized a dark, visceral aesthetic to capture the creature's formidable presence. Mechanically, the card was notable for its unique ability to fluctuate in power and toughness based on the opponent's life total, a design choice aimed at creating high-tension interactions during late-game combat. It remains a recognizable piece of the set’s distinct visual and mechanical identity.
