Soul Burn
Oracle Text
Spend only black and/or red mana on X.
Soul Burn deals X damage to any target. You gain life equal to the damage dealt, but not more than the amount of {B} spent on X, the player's life total before the damage was dealt, the planeswalker's loyalty before the damage was dealt, or the creature's toughness.
Card Details
Mana CostSet
Character Background
Soul Burn is a flexible Invasion-era sorcery that rewards black-red mana efficiency and works best in control or midrange shells that want removal with incidental life gain. At its simplest, it is a scalable burn spell that can pick off a creature, finish a planeswalker, or go upstairs, but the life gain adds real staying power when you pour black mana into X. Because the life gained is capped by the black mana spent and the target’s remaining life or toughness, it shines most when used to efficiently trade up rather than as an all-in finisher. In deckbuilding, pair it with mana rocks, rituals, or multicolor mana filtering to make X meaningful without straining the color requirement; it also plays well alongside other removal that softens a creature first, letting Soul Burn both answer the threat and recoup life. The card’s flavor feels like a controlled blaze of necrotic energy, more surgical than reckless.
