Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Corpse Augur is a classic black value engine that rewards patience and a willingness to cash in resources at the right moment. As a 4/2 Zombie Wizard for four mana, it attacks decently, but its real strength is death-trigger card draw tied to an opponent’s graveyard size, making it especially strong in control, sacrifice, and grindy midrange shells. In Commander, it shines when you can reliably kill it yourself with outlets like Viscera Seer, Carrion Feeder, or Ashnod’s Altar, turning a body into a burst of cards. It also pairs well with self-mill and graveyard-filling effects, since you can choose the player whose graveyard is fullest, often making the draw three to six cards or more. The life loss matters, so it’s best in decks with lifegain, recursion, or ways to offset the hit. The card feels like a necromantic census-taker: it doesn’t just die, it audits the dead for profit.
