About Martyr of Sands

Martyr of Sands, Creature — human cleric, designed by Randy Gallegos first released in Jul, 2006 in the set Coldsnap and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.67.

Martyr of Sands is best suited for a life-gain strategy deck, particularly in formats like Modern or Commander, where gaining substantial life can be leveraged for powerful effects or to enable cards like Serra Ascendant or Aetherflux Reservoir. While there are other life-gain cards that may provide more consistent or impactful effects, such as Soul Warden or Ajani's Pridemate, Martyr of Sands can still be valuable in decks focused on synergy with life gain and card advantage. Its ability to convert cards in hand into life makes it a unique option, especially in a deck designed to maximize white card counts. Overall, it can see play but may not be the most competitive choice compared to more efficient life-gain engines.
