About Tar Fiend
Tar Fiend, Creature — elemental, designed by Anthony S. Waters first released in Oct, 2008 in the set Shards of Alara. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 0.69.
A deck focused on sacrificing creatures for value, such as a sacrifice or graveyard-based deck, would benefit from including Tar Fiend as it can provide card advantage by making the opponent discard cards while also growing in power. However, there are potentially better cards for similar effects, like Grave Titan or Abyssal Persecutor, which offer more immediate impact or resilience. Tar Fiend could see play in specific strategies that can take advantage of its abilities, but it may not be a staple in most competitive decks due to its high mana cost and situational nature.
Rules
10/01/08
