Gloom Sower
Oracle Text
Whenever this creature becomes blocked by a creature, that creature's controller loses 2 life and you gain 2 life.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Gloom Sower is a classic black finisher that rewards a slow, controlling game plan: a 8/6 Horror for seven mana that turns every block into a painful trade for the opponent. Its trigger punishes any creature that dares stand in front of it, draining 2 life from the blocker’s controller while padding your own total, so even chump blocks fail to feel safe. In practice, this makes it best in control or midrange shells that can clear the way with removal and then present a hard-to-ignore threat. It pairs especially well with menace, trample, or effects that force blocks, since those push damage through while maximizing the life swing. Deckbuilding-wise, treat it as a top-end threat rather than a curve filler; acceleration or reanimation can help deploy it sooner, and recursion makes it even scarier because opponents quickly run out of profitable answers.
