Evil Eye of Urborg

Creature — Eye

Non-Eye creatures you control can't attack.

Whenever Evil Eye of Urborg becomes blocked by a creature, destroy that creature.

Well, I've lost focus falling for homunulus eye cards... Going to scrap and redo this deck. Get back to the core strategy theme.

If you want to think outside the box, try Phyrexian Negator. Every time it's blocked, its controller is losing a bushel of hard-earned permanents. Of course, you can always help the process along by pointing a Consume Spirit or Essence Extraction at the Negator!

Other good options include Gutwrencher Oni, Grinning Demon, Scourge of Numai, Pitiless Horde, Steel Golem, Grid Monitor, Evil Eye of Orms-by-Gore, Evil Eye of Urborg, Archdemon of Greed  Flip, Abyssal Persecutor, Ebonblade Reaper, Thrashing Mudspawn, Wretched Anurid, Ebon Drake, Moroii, Rotting Regisaur, Flesh Reaver, Asmodeus the Archfiend and the truly deplorable Infernal Denizen.

Chiggs' Nest

Enchantment - Aura

Enchant Land

create a 2/1 fox creature token that has snow landwalk.


Yes, I am well aware this is another Squirrel's Nest. I created it with that in mind but better for being 3 colors.

Next Challenge: We have the two Evil eyes Evil Eye of Orms-by-Gore Evil Eye of Urborg

Make a new Eye creature.

I'm just remembering that there are a few creatures that will destroy blockers before damage is even dealt, and these are great to put lure onto:

Engulfing Slagwurm

Evil Eye of Urborg

Sylvan Basilisk

Zombie Boa

These were found using a Gatherer search of Rules Text "becomes blocked" and "destroy".

Silent Murder

Instant (rare)

Destroy target creature, then counter all triggered abilities from permanents that would trigger from it leaving the battlefield.

In the Urborg, nobody can hear you scream.


Evil Eye of Urborg and Evil Eye of Orms-by-Gore are the only two creatures with the Eye type. We did this a few dozen pages ago, but let's try again: let's create a creature type identity for Eyes. What do they do, scry? Do they peer into opponent's libraries? Do they see through the hexproof of opponent's creatures? Let's make some Eyes! (And what if we combined them with other creature types? How would you make a Spider Eye, or a Gorgon Eye? Let's get creative, it's pretty much a clean page for us to write upon)

Coward_Token on Grixis!Zedruu

(I would add a proper community card but that feature seems to be malfunctioning right now.)

Farly straightforward, this card would mostly be Zedruu the Greathearted (although a different character, not simply her gone evil or something) with a casting cost of and an activation cost of . In EDH, this could lead to some fun usage of cards like the following:

(I realize you can basically already do this with any Grixis commander + e.g. Bazaar Trader, but that's a bit less straightforward.)

I'm unsure what would be suitable for its upkeep ability. Just copying Zedruu's straight off isn't too inappropriate, as drawing is certainly associated with black and life gain isn't too far out either, but that's kinda boring. Replacing the life gain with something negative towards opponents like milling, discard or plain life loss proportional to the amount of gifted permanent could be one option that's more in line with the color change (thought the negative effects would probably targeted in order to preserve some political potential). Putting a +1/+1 counter per gift on Zedruu the Grixishearted to take advantage of commander damage could also work (especially when combined with auras like Herald of Torment), in which case you could also change power/toughness from the original's 2/4 to 4/2 to signal greater aggression.

For the sake of flavor its subtype would be Horse Djinn, with the artwork depicting a djinn with a mare's head, wearing a mouth-covering veil.

Feedback would be welcome, especially on ways to make Grixis!Zedruu more distinct from the original while still fulfilling the basic function of giving out torturous black cards, in addition to the blue and red ones they both share.

(A version containing green could also be made for the sake of giving that color a chance to show off its painful cards, in which case the creature in question should probably have monkey paws.)
