Gix, Yawgmoth Praetor
Oracle Text
Whenever a creature deals combat damage to one of your opponents, its controller may pay 1 life. If they do, they draw a card.
{4}{B}{B}{B}, Discard X cards: Exile the top X cards of target opponent's library. You may play lands and cast spells from among cards exiled this way without paying their mana costs.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Gix, Yawgmoth Praetor is the kind of Phyrexian who doesn’t just win battles—he converts every swing into leverage, then gnaws directly at your opponent’s future. In play, its ability to make combat damage generate optional draws for 1 life pushes you toward proactive board control: you want creatures connecting reliably so you can “buy” cards at a discount, turning every attack into sustained value rather than a one-off trade. The exile-discard engine is where the plan sharpens—by spending {4}{B}{B}{B} and discarding X, you selectively strip the top of an opponent’s library while enabling free, mana-less casts from what you steal, which naturally supports a combo/value-control hybrid. Deck-build around redundancy: lean into discard enablers (or sacrifice outlets) and high-impact targets like planeswalkers, removal, or payoff spells among the exiled cards. Synergize with cards that guarantee damage (deathtouch, evasion, or resilient bodies) so you maximize draws while you grind them out with recursive, tempo-positive steals.
