Card face

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.

Provenance

Where it came from

Malignus was first introduced in the 2012 Magic: The Gathering expansion Avacyn Restored. The card was designed as a high-impact, mythic rare creature intended to embody the chaotic and overwhelming nature of the set's horror-themed aesthetic, scaling its power dynamically based on the opponent's life total to serve as a formidable late-game threat.

The artwork was provided by Jung Park, who utilized a dark, visceral style to depict the entity. The design emphasizes a sense of formless, encroaching malice, which resonated with players looking for aggressive finishing cards in Commander and casual formats. Since its release, it has remained a distinct example of the set's focus on high-variance, powerful creatures that reward strategic board positioning.
