Ophiomancer
Oracle Text
At the beginning of each upkeep, if you control no Snakes, create a 1/1 black Snake creature token with deathtouch.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Ophiomancer is a classic value engine for black decks, turning a modest 2/2 body into a steady stream of deathtouch Snakes that punish attacks and block almost anything profitably. In practice, it shines most in control and midrange shells, where repeated token generation can stall the board while you trade resources and eventually pull ahead. Because it only asks that you control no Snakes at each upkeep, it pairs especially well with sacrifice outlets like Viscera Seer or Skullclamp-style plans, letting you cash in the token and ensure a fresh one arrives next turn. It also works nicely with edict effects and death-trigger synergies, since the token both feeds your own engines and deters opposing creatures. Thematically, the card feels like a patient dark shaman summoning serpents as a constant ward, and mechanically that endurance is its strength: low mana, recurring board presence, and excellent inevitability in grindy games.
