Feed the Swarm
Oracle Text
Destroy target creature or enchantment an opponent controls. You lose life equal to that permanent's mana value.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Feed the Swarm is a brutally efficient black answer that fits best in control and midrange shells, especially any deck that struggles to interact with enchantments. At two mana, it can remove an early creature to regain tempo or punch through a problematic enchantment that black otherwise can’t easily touch, making it a valuable catch-all in Commander and limited removal suites. The life loss matters, but it’s usually a fair price when you’re trading up on mana or clearing a lock piece, and black decks often have the tools to offset that cost with lifegain, drain effects, or a high total of efficient interaction. In deckbuilding, pair it with aristocrat-style or grindy black strategies that can afford small life payments and want flexible answers; it also shines in metas full of aura, stax, or enchantress cards. As a theme, the card feels like black’s willingness to consume anything—self-preservation through ruthless sacrifice.
