Nim Deathmantle
Oracle Text
Equipped creature gets +2/+2, has intimidate, and is a black Zombie. (A creature with intimidate can't be blocked except by artifact creatures and/or creatures that share a color with it.)
Whenever a nontoken creature is put into your graveyard from the battlefield, you may pay {4}. If you do, return that card to the battlefield and attach this Equipment to it.
Equip {4}
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Nim Deathmantle is a classic value engine in Magic: The Gathering, best at home in midrange and combo shells that can repeatedly convert creatures into resources. The Equipment turns any body into a harder-to-block black Zombie, and the +2/+2 plus intimidate makes even modest attackers suddenly threatening, especially in decks that can force awkward blocks or leverage creature removal. Its real power, though, is the graveyard trigger: whenever a nontoken creature dies, paying {4} can bring it back and reattach the Deathmantle, effectively insulating key threats from attrition. This pairs especially well with sacrifice outlets, death-trigger creatures, and mana-producing creatures that help pay the return cost, creating loops or at least a strong recursive advantage. In Commander, it shines in aristocrats or artifact-centric builds, while in slower constructed environments it rewards patience and board control. The key is planning around the four-mana tax so the card becomes a repeatable engine, not just an expensive rescue tool.
