About Minion of the Wastes

Minion of the Wastes, Creature — minion, designed by Scott Kirschner first released in Oct, 1997 in the set Tempest. It's a key card in 3 combos.

This card, Minion of the Wastes, could be beneficial in a deck that focuses on gaining and manipulating life totals, such as a black control deck with lifelink creatures and life-gain spells. However, its high cost and the risk of paying too much life make it a risky choice. Other cards like Tarmogoyf or Death's Shadow might be better options for a similar effect with less risk, making Minion of the Wastes less likely to see play in competitive Magic: The Gathering decks.

Rules

01/25/11
