Mana CostSet
Character Background
Nine-Lives Familiar is a classic value engine for black decks that want to grind rather than race, and it fits best in control or midrange shells that can turn a tiny body into repeated pressure, sacrifice fodder, or a stubborn blocker. Cast it normally and it arrives with eight revival counters, effectively giving you a long chain of extra lives; each death brings it back smaller, which makes it excellent at soaking removal, stalling attackers, and feeding repeatable death triggers. The Cat theme feels fitting for a creature that keeps returning no matter how often it is knocked down, and that resilience rewards patient play. It pairs especially well with sacrifice outlets like Viscera Seer or Village Rites-style effects, because you can cash it in on your terms while still preserving future bodies. Deckbuilders should also look for cards that care about creatures dying or entering repeatedly, since this familiar turns one card into a steady stream of value over many turns.
