About Elder Deep-Fiend

Elder Deep-Fiend, Creature — eldrazi octopus, designed by Jason Felix first released in Jul, 2016 in the set Eldritch Moon Promos and was printed exactly in 6 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of € 0.44.

Elder Deep-Fiend is a versatile card that can be a strong addition to control or tempo decks in Magic: the Gathering, as it provides instant speed disruption by tapping down up to four target permanents when cast. While it's a powerful option for those strategies, its high mana cost and the need to sacrifice a creature for its emerge cost may limit its playability in some decks. Other cards like Cryptic Command may offer similar utility with more flexibility, but Elder Deep-Fiend can still find a place in decks looking for specific types of disruption and tempo swings.

If the mana cost includes , X is considered to be 0. If it’s a single-faced card with no mana symbols in its upper right corner (because it’s an animated land, for example), its converted mana cost is 0. Ignore any alternative costs or additional costs (such as kicker) that were paid as the creature was cast.

You may sacrifice a creature with a converted mana cost of 0, such as a token creature that’s not a copy of another permanent, to cast a spell for its emerge cost. You’ll just pay the full emerge cost with no reduction.
