Gray Merchant of Asphodel, Creature — zombie, designed by Robbie Trevino first released in May, 2020 in the set Theros and was printed exactly in 8 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's a key card in 15 combos.
A mono-black devotion deck in Magic: the Gathering would benefit greatly from including Gray Merchant of Asphodel, as it can drain a significant amount of life from opponents and gain you life in return based on your devotion to black. While there may be other powerful black cards to consider, Gray Merchant's ability to swing the game in your favor by draining life and gaining you life makes it a strong contender for inclusion in a mono-black strategy, especially in formats like Commander where its effect can have a big impact.

Colorless and generic mana symbols (, , , , , and so on) in mana costs of permanents you control don’t count toward your devotion to any color.

Hybrid mana symbols, monocolored hybrid mana symbols, and Phyrexian mana symbols do count toward your devotion to their color(s).

If you put an Aura on an opponent’s permanent, you still control the Aura, and mana symbols in its mana cost count towards your devotion.

The amount of life you gain is the total amount of life lost, not simply the value of X.
