Oracle Text
Protection from white

Whenever a creature dies, you gain 2 life.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Dross Harvester is a classic black value-engine creature that rewards a grindy control or midrange game plan rather than pure aggro, since its 4/4 body with protection from white can both pressure combat and blank many common white removal spells and blockers. The real tension is the end-step life loss, which makes the card feel like a ravenous horror feeding on decay: you are paying life now, but recouping it every time anything dies. That means it shines in sacrifice shells, aristocrats, and board-control decks where creatures are expected to die often. Pair it with repeatable sac outlets like Viscera Seer or Ashnod’s Altar, token makers, and wipe-heavy builds so the life gain outpaces the drain. In Commander especially, Dross Harvester can stabilize you against creature-heavy tables while turning a steady stream of deaths into a life buffer that keeps your engine running.
