Dusk Mangler

Creature — Horror5 generic manaBlack manaBlack mana

Three separate flavors of black attrition arrive on one body: an edict, a discard, and a four-life hit, all landing on every opponent the instant this resolves. The symmetry is the point. Casting it demands one of the same three currencies it later extracts, and the choice is yours: sacrifice a creature, discard a card, or pay four life, then force each opponent through all three at once. That inbound flexibility lets it dovetail with whatever engine a black deck already runs; a token deck feeds it a spare body, a graveyard deck ditches a spent card, a deck that treats life as a resource spends the four points and moves on. Seven mana buys a 5/4 and a triple swing across board, hand, and life total. One caveat on the edict half: the opponent picks which creature to sacrifice, so a lone token soaks the hit before it reaches the threat you actually wanted gone. This is the broad rake, not the surgical strike. It plays best in a deck already grinding the game to dust, where every opponent losing a creature, a card, and four life stacks onto the pressure you are already applying rather than expecting the Horror to close things out unassisted.
