Pontiff of Blight
Oracle Text
Extort (Whenever you cast a spell, you may pay {W/B}. If you do, each opponent loses 1 life and you gain that much life.)
Other creatures you control have extort. (If a creature has multiple instances of extort, each triggers separately.)
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Pontiff of Blight is a classic grindy finisher for control and value decks, turning every spell into a quiet drain engine while standing as a towering 2/7 wall that helps stabilize the board. In gameplay terms, it best supports a slow attrition plan: cast removal, token makers, or cheap cantrips, then convert excess mana into repeated extort triggers that bleed opponents dry and pad your life total. The most important line is that other creatures you control also have extort, so any swarm of small creatures becomes much more threatening once the Pontiff lands. It pairs especially well with token production, low-cost spells, and mana acceleration, since paying the extort tax multiple times per turn can snowball quickly. The flavor fits its name: a corrupted cleric presiding over a creeping blight, not by explosive power, but by inevitability.
