Minion of Leshrac

A repeatable creature-and-land destroyer that taxes you for the privilege of pointing it. The design is built around an upkeep blood-price: every turn it demands a creature off your own board, and if you cannot pay, it carves five life out of you and stays tapped, sitting out the turn it could have been removing something. That tap-on-failure clause is the real governor on the engine; the destroy ability and the self-damage compete for the same body, so a missed sacrifice is not just five life but a wasted activation. The friction dictates the build: you want a steady stream of expendable creatures to feed it, turning the demon into a recurring sacrifice outlet that also blows up a permanent each turn. Protection from black is the era-appropriate insurance, keeping it safe from the black removal that dominated its color and letting it survive the attrition mirrors it was meant to grind through. The Faustian template here, a fat demon that charges rent rather than a one-time summoning fee, is the same bargain Lord of the Pit struck, but this one pays you back in disruption instead of just a beefy attacker: a sacrifice outlet, a removal turret, and a 5/5 body that asks you to keep the altar stocked or bleed for it.
