Whenever this creature or another nontoken creature you control dies, you may create a 0/1 colorless Eldrazi Spawn creature token. It has "Sacrifice this token: Add {C}."
Pawn of Ulamog is a classic value engine for black decks that expect their creatures to die and still want to come out ahead. As a 2/2 Vampire Shaman for three mana, it does not ask for much upfront, but every nontoken creature that dies on your side can replace itself with an Eldrazi Spawn, turning trades, sacrifice outlets, and even board wipes into additional resources. That makes it especially strong in aristocrats-style control or midrange shells, where the game plan is to grind incremental advantage while converting bodies into mana. The Spawn tokens also help power out larger plays, so pairing Pawn of Ulamog with sacrifice engines like Viscera Seer or Ashnod’s Altar, or with recursive creatures that die repeatedly, can snowball quickly. Even when it is not the centerpiece, it quietly turns ordinary combat losses into ramp, making removal less punishing and stabilizing your mana in longer games.
