Gain control of target creature. Untap that creature. It gains haste until end of turn. Sacrifice it at the beginning of the next end step.
Card Details
Mana CostSet
Character Background
Slave of Bolas is a quintessential tempo-and-swing spell in Magic: The Gathering, turning an opposing creature into a one-turn weapon before sending it to the graveyard at end step. At five mana, it fits best in a control or midrange shell that wants to blunt an attack, steal the best blocker, and convert that stolen body into immediate damage or a key enter-the-battlefield effect. Because it untaps the creature and grants haste, you can also use it offensively to steal a tapped threat, attack with it, and force awkward blocks from the rest of the board. Deckbuilding-wise, it pairs especially well with sacrifice payoffs like Mayhem Devil, Braids-style engines, or any list that can copy or recur the spell for repeated removal-plus-threats. The name and effect evoke Bolas’s manipulative domination: not just taking control, but weaponizing the victim before discarding them.
