Bane of the Living is a 4/3 creature that can be cast face down for a low cost and later flipped to unleash its ability, reducing the toughness of all creatures by X until end of turn. This effect can clear the board of smaller threats or weaken larger ones, making it a valuable tool in removal-focused strategies. However, it requires a significant investment in mana for its morph cost, so timing is key to maximise its impact. **As a Commander:** Bane of the Living fits well in a Golgari BG deck, utilising its ability to control the board while benefiting from graveyard synergies. It can serve as a surprise element, catching opponents off guard when they least expect it.
