Death Baron
Oracle Text
Skeletons you control and other Zombies you control get +1/+1 and have deathtouch. (Any amount of damage they deal to a creature is enough to destroy it.)
Card Details
Mana CostSet
Character Background
Death Baron is a classic black tribal payoff that turns a board of shambling corpses into a lethal, aristocratic death squad. In Magic: The Gathering, it best supports an aggressive to midrange tribal game plan, especially in Zombie or Skeleton decks that want to swing early and still dominate combat later. The +1/+1 bonus makes your cheap creatures trade up or survive burn, while deathtouch forces opponents into miserable blocks and discourages attacks back. It also pairs especially well with token makers, recursive threats, and sacrifice engines; even a small Zombie token becomes a real removal threat, and Skeletons benefit twice by getting both bigger and deadlier. In deckbuilding, prioritize low-cost Zombies that can flood the board quickly, then protect Death Baron so its static buff keeps snowballing value. The card’s wizardly title fits the image of a necromantic commander coordinating the dead into a disciplined, efficient battlefield presence.
