Lore

Why it matters

This card represents the destructive forces within the Warhammer 40,000 universe, serving as a powerful thematic centerpiece for players building around the game's darker factions. As a rare inclusion in the Commander set, it is highly sought after by collectors for its role in capturing the volatile essence of the source material.

Card face

What it does

At the beginning of your upkeep, choose an opponent at random. Exile the top card of that player's library. Until end of turn, you may play that card and you may spend mana as though it were mana of any color to cast it. When you cast a spell this way, its owner loses life equal to its mana value.
