Oracle Text

When Bolg enters, you may sacrifice another creature. When you do, Bolg deals damage equal to that creature's power to another target creature. If excess damage was dealt this way, amass Goblins X, where X is that excess damage. (Put X +1/+1 counters on an Army you control. It's also a Goblin. If you don't control an Army, create a 0/0 black Goblin Army creature token first.)

Character Background

Bolg of the North is a clean value engine for Rakdos midrange or sacrifice-based aggro, turning a disposable body into removal plus board growth in one swing. At five mana, a 5/5 body already asks for an answer, but the enters-the-battlefield trigger lets you cash in a creature with high power to kill something larger and convert any overflow into an Army of Goblins, making the card especially punishing when you can feed it pumped tokens or oversized recursive threats. It pairs well with decks built around death triggers, token makers, and creatures that are happy to be sacrificed after being buffed by auras, equipment, or temporary combat boosts. Even a modest sacrifice can generate tempo by removing a blocker, while a big one can snowball the board quickly. In lore terms, Bolg feels like a brutal northern warleader, and in gameplay terms he rewards players who treat creatures as resources rather than assets.
