Oracle Text
As long as your life total is less than or equal to half your starting life total, Bane has indestructible.
Whenever another nontoken creature you control dies, target opponent may have you draw a card. If they don't, you may put a creature card with equal or lesser toughness from your hand onto the battlefield.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Bane, Lord of Darkness fits best in a value-oriented control or midrange shell that wants to trade creatures early and then turn those deaths into pressure. His body is deceptively dangerous: a 5/2 that becomes indestructible once you’re at or below half your starting life total, which encourages a deck that can safely absorb damage, then pivot into a harder-to-answer threat. The death trigger is especially strong in multiplayer, where opponents often prefer giving you a card to avoid the free creature drop; either choice works for you. Build around creatures with high toughness and strong enters-the-battlefield effects, since Bane can cheat them in for less mana and at instant-speed pressure after a board wipe. Cards that sacrifice your own creatures on demand, or recur them for repeated deaths, also pair well, turning Bane into a steady engine rather than a one-time payoff.
