Cabal Patriarch · Compendium

, Sacrifice a creature: Target creature gets -2/-2 until end of turn. , Exile a creature card from your graveyard: Target creature gets -2/-2 until end of turn.

Mox strategy

Cabal Patriarch excels as a heavy black control creature with high toughness (5/5) and powerful creature-killing abilities that weaken threats by -2/-2 repeatedly. Its strengths lie in flexible removal—sacrificing creatures or exiling from your graveyard to debuff opponents—which synergizes well with sacrifice and graveyard recursion decks. It supports aggressive attrition strategies, enabling you to trade small creatures or fuel graveyard combos while maintaining a strong board presence. Best used in midrange or control black decks that leverage creature sacrifice and graveyard interactions for continuous disruption.
