Character Background

Fain, the Broker is a classic value-engine warlock: a 3/3 for three that turns spare bodies, counters, and artifacts into a cascading resource loop. He best supports a grindy midrange or control shell, where every token and counter becomes negotiable currency. Sacrificing a creature to grow your best threat lets you convert utility creatures or expendable tokens into real pressure, while the counter-removal mode quietly refunds mana via Treasures and can turn depleted modular-style threats, +1/+1 counter creatures, or even temporary counters into fuel. The artifact-sacrifice ability is especially potent with Clues, Food, Treasures, and cheap token makers, since it replaces dead artifacts with evasive Inkling attackers. In Commander, he shines alongside cards that repeatedly add counters or artifacts, such as proliferate tools, token generators, and recursion pieces that keep fodder flowing. His untap ability makes him the kind of broker who can “double-dip” when you have mana to spare, rewarding careful sequencing and board setup.
