Description

Kaervek the Merciless (DSC-222) is a legendary Human Shaman from Duskmourn: House of Horror Commander that costs seven mana and is black‑red. Whenever an opponent casts a spell, Kaervek deals damage equal to that spell's mana value to any target. This makes him a tax-and-punish commander or inclusion in aggressive midrange decks that leverages free or repeatable damage triggers to control opponents and finish games.
