About Necropolis Fiend

Necropolis Fiend, Creature — demon, designed by Svetlin Velinov first released in Jun, 2002 in the set Magic Online Promos and was printed exactly in 5 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of € 0.08.

A deck that focuses on filling the graveyard quickly and efficiently, such as a self-mill or graveyard recursion strategy, would benefit from including Necropolis Fiend. The ability to use Delve to reduce its casting cost and then utilize its ability to shrink opposing creatures can be powerful in controlling the board. However, there may be better options depending on the specific deck's strategy, such as cards like Gurmag Angler or Tasigur, the Golden Fang which offer similar effects with potentially lower costs or additional benefits, so Necropolis Fiend may not always see play in competitive decks.

Rules

19/03/21

Because delve isn’t an alternative cost, it can be used in conjunction with alternative costs, such as flashback. It can also be used to pay for additional costs that include generic mana.

19/03/21

Delve doesn’t change a spell’s mana cost or converted mana cost. For example, Treasure Cruise’s converted mana cost is 8 even if you exiled three cards to cast it.

Because delve isn’t an alternative cost, it can be used in conjunction with alternative costs.

20/09/14

The rules for delve have changed slightly since it was last in an expansion. Previously, delve reduced the cost to cast a spell. Under the current rules, you exile cards from your graveyard at the same time you pay the spell’s cost. Exiling a card this way is simply another way to pay that cost.

20/09/14

You can’t exile cards to pay for the colored mana requirements of a spell with delve.
