Mana CostSet
Character Background
Undead Gladiator is a classic value engine for black decks that want to keep cards flowing and turn graveyard resources into repeatable threats. A 3/1 for three mana is already respectable pressure, especially in aggressive shells where early damage matters, but its real strength is the upkeep recursion: discarding a card to return it to hand lets you convert excess lands or situational spells into ongoing card advantage. That makes it especially good in tempo and grindy midrange builds, and it can even support control decks that want a steady, low-investment threat. The cycling ability adds flexibility, letting you cash it in when you need a fresh draw and still potentially rebuy it later. It shines alongside discard synergies, looting effects, and graveyard payoffs; cards that want you to pitch creatures or benefit from repeated discard, like Madness-style engines or reanimation packages, pair naturally. The “gladiator” flavor fits perfectly: it keeps getting back up for another fight.
