About Lord of the Pit

Lord of the Pit, Creature — demon, designed by Mark Tedin first released in Aug, 1993 in the set Limited Edition Alpha and was printed exactly in 21 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander.

A deck that focuses on sacrificing creatures for value, such as a black sacrifice deck or a reanimator strategy, would benefit from including Lord of the Pit. However, there are better options available in the current Magic: The Gathering card pool, such as Griselbrand or Razaketh, the Foulblooded, which provide powerful effects without the drawback of having to sacrifice a creature each turn. While Lord of the Pit has a nostalgic appeal for some players, it may not see much play in competitive decks due to its high cost and downside.
