Among the vast types of creatures brought to life throughout the history of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Magic: The Gathering, perhaps some of the most insidious and terrifying are Horrors. Most commonly found inꦛ blue and black, Horrors use strategies involving milling opponents, exiling their cards, and then stealing their cards to use against them.
A well-built Horror deck can be a nightmare to play against as you helplessly watch your best cards get taken away, only to have them come back to fight against you. If you're looking to build a horror deck, here are some must-use cards to make it as powerful as it can be.
10 Mindcrank
168澳洲幸运5开奖网:A staple card in all mill decks, Mindcrank is an incredibly efficient and repeatable way to get cards into your opponents' graveyard. For only two mana, if you draw this artifact early, opponents will be forced to start milling from the jump, giving you more options to choose from when you inevitably go rummaging through their graveyards for goodies.
The best part is the life they lose doesn't have to come directly from you. Any opponent, losing life in any way, will trigger this ability. This means you can sit back, let your opponents duke it out, and do the dirty work for you.
9 ꧑ Extract From Darkness
Extract from Darkness is the kind of card you'll want to use once Mindcrank has worked its magic. Serving not only as a source of reanimation should one of your most powerful creatures be destroyed, this sorcery allows you to return one creature from any graveyard to the battlefield under your control.
With the amount of milling happening in these decks, you're bound to find a creature card in a graveyard that is an absolute steal for five mana. Whether used early in the game to take the lead or in the late game to help you make the final push to victory, Extract from Darkness is a surefire way to get something powerful onto the battlefield.
8 C🦩onsuming 💖Aberration
The amount of potential power this creature has is ridiculous. Honestly, we're not sure how it's still such an affordable card. Its power and toughness are equal to the amount of cards in every graveyard. Not creatures cards or types of cards. Total cards.
Imagine casting a kicked Maddening Cacophony, forcing every opponent to mill half of their library, then casting this. Find a way to make it unblockable (there are a lot in Dimir), and you'll be set up for a one-hit kill. Additionally, Consuming Aberration also helps with the mill strategy, forcing opponents to mill until they reveal a land card every time you cast a spell.
7 Endless Evil 💞
If you could only choose two words to describe a Horror deck, you'd be hard-pressed to find two more fitting than Endless Evil. By enchanting a creature you control, you then get to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:create a token copy of that creature at the beginning of your upkeep, except it's a 1/1. Imagine duplicating Nemesis of Reason and forcing your opponent to mill ten cards just by attacking. Or get repeated removal by copying Ravenous Chupacabra.
Additionally, when the enchanted creature dies (and so long as it's a horror), you get to return Endless Evil to your hand and repeat the process all over again.
6 Brainsteaꦬler Drago꧙n
What's worse than one Dragon? Two Dragons. What's worse than two? Whatever this thing is. Brainstealer Dragon forces opponents to exile the top card of their library at the beginning of their end step, and then you get to cast them using whatever mana you want.
Not only is this a great way to get some additional spells if your hand is running low, but when you cast an exiled card, its controller loses life equal to its mana value. If stealing your opponents' cards wasn't enough of a blow to their morale, the additional life they lose when you do will certainly do it. On top of that, you get a 6/6 flier who can deal some serious damage.
5 🐈 Haunted One 🔜
The Battle for Baldur's Gate Horror-themed Commander deck included a lot of new cards for the previously underrepresented creature type. One of the most powerful among these was Haunted One. It gives your commander and all creatures that share a type with it +2/+0 and undying when your commander becomes tapped.
Being able to give a boost to all your creatures is helpful enough but giving them undying allows you to attack without worrying about whether they'll die. They'll just come back stronger. This card is the perfect pairing if you want to use Zellix, Sanity Flayer as your commander.
4 Uchuulon
It's a Crab. It's a Horror. No, it's a Crab Ooze Horror! This is one of the most unique creature typings the game has seen in a while. By exiling a creature from an opponent's graveyard at the beginning of your end step, you get to create a token copy of Uchuulon. If left unchecked, one Uchuulon will quickly become two, which will become four and just continue doubling.
What's even better (well, better for you, worse for everyone else) is Uchuulon's power is equal to however many Crabs, Oozes, and Horrors are under your control. So as this creature multiplies, it grows in strength and quickly becomes very unmanageable to play against.
3 Refle🌃ctions Of Littjara
Effective in any deck that focuses on a single creature type, Reflections of Littjara allows you to name a creature type and create a copy of any spell you cast of that type. This effectively doubles✱ the amount of creatures you have as well as their respective abilities.
This won't work on legendary creatures, of course, but getting extra copies of Horrors like Guiltfeeder and Sludge Monster will be a massive advantage. It's a no-brainer for this deck, as it will also help increase the amount of milling you can force your opponents to do.
2 Ashiok, Sculptor Of Fea🀅rs ♏
Offering card draw, forcing your opponents to mill, and taking control of other creatures, Ashiok, Sculptor of Fears, is the best planeswalker for a Horror deck. Its first loyalty abiꦿlity allows you to draw a card as well as makes every player mill two cards, setting up for its next ability. For five loyalty, you can take control of any creature in any graveyard, which is essentially a repeatable Extract from Darkness.
If you're fortunate enough to trigger Ashiok's final loyalty ability, you'll get to take control of all creatures target opponent controls. In the late game, this can be devastating, especially if you're playing against a combat-focused deck.
1 ⛦ Captain N’ghathrod
Captain N'ghathrod is the newest and most popular commander for any Horror deck, and with good reason. He gives every Horror you control menace, which means you're way more likely to deal damage to your opponents during combat. Then, whenever a Horror deals combat damage to a player they have to mill that many cards, which leads into his final ability. At the beginning of your end step, you get to take control of any single creature or artifact that was put into an opponent's graveyard during your turn.
Captain N'ghathrod is basically everything you want in a Horror deck wrapped up into one card. His final ability also isn't dependent on his other two. As long as opponents have cards in their graveyard, you get a guaranteed artifact or creature during each of your end steps. Include some cards like Time Warp to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:give yourself an extra turn and trigger his end step ability twice.
