Rise of the Witch-king
Oracle Text
Each player sacrifices a creature of their choice. If you sacrificed a creature this way, you may return another permanent card from your graveyard to the battlefield.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Rise of the Witch-king is a classic attrition tool for midrange and value decks, turning a symmetrical sacrifice into a likely one-sided swing if you can feed the spell a token, a spent utility creature, or a recursive body. In gameplay terms, it supports grindy black-green shells that want to trade resources early and then recover faster than the opponent; the reanimation clause effectively turns the card into both removal and card advantage when you sacrifice something disposable. A strong deckbuilding tip is to pair it with tokens, undying creatures, or creatures with death triggers, since you can cash them in while still bringing back a stronger permanent such as a planeswalker, enchantment, or key engine piece. The title evokes the return of a dark commander rising from ruin, and the mechanic matches that feeling by demanding a sacrifice before restoring a fallen force. It is at its best when you are ahead or stabilized, where it can break parity and pull you further ahead.
