Overlord of the Balemurk
Oracle Text
Impending 5—{1}{B} (If you cast this spell for its impending cost, it enters with five time counters and isn't a creature until the last is removed. At the beginning of your end step, remove a time counter from it.)
Whenever this permanent enters or attacks, mill four cards, then you may return a non-Avatar creature card or a planeswalker card from your graveyard to your hand.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Overlord of the Balemurk reads like a slow-brewing engine of inevitability: its Impending mechanic lets you choose between an immediate 5/5 body or a cheaper, delayed-value plan that still triggers an enter effect on arrival, so it best supports value/midrange and reanimator-style decks rather than pure aggro or tempo. Its enter/attack mill-4 plus “return a non-Avatar creature or planeswalker to your hand” is tailor-made for graveyard recursion loops — think casting it for Impending to mill and snag back a big non-Avatar threat or a planeswalker, then later attacking with a real 5/5 to repeat the effect. Deckbuilding tip: pack cheap reanimation and recursion (Animate Dead, Reanimate, Unearth-style effects) and self-mill enablers (Stitcher’s Supplier, other discard/mill) or delve threats (Gurmag Angler/Tasigur) to both fuel targets and get extra value. Play smart around timing: cast Impending early to bank the first trigger, or pay full cost when you need the body immediately and to deny opponents lines of disruption.
