About The Lord of Pain

The Lord of Pain, Legendary creature — human assassin, designed by Greg Staples first released in Sep, 2024 in the set Duskmourn: House of Horror Commander. It see play in 1 formats: Commander.

The Lord of Pain, with its ability to inflict damage while also providing a strategic advantage, would fit well in a control or midrange deck that focuses on resource denial and board control, particularly in formats where life gain and creature-based strategies are prevalent. However, there are arguably better options like Grave Titan or Tireless Tracker, which offer more consistent value and board presence for similar mana costs. While The Lord of Pain can be a fun and thematic inclusion, its effectiveness may be limited compared to these stronger alternatives, making it less likely to see competitive play in most formats.
