Extus, Oriq Overlord // Awaken the Blood Avatar

Description

Extus, Oriq Overlord // Awaken the Blood Avatar (STX-323) is a legendary double-faced card from Strixhaven that functions as a double-striking Human Warlock creature on its front and a sacrifice-cost-reducing sorcery on its back. The front face has magecraft that returns a nonlegendary creature card from your graveyard to your hand whenever you cast or copy an instant or sorcery, while the back face can be cast for less by sacrificing creatures and forces each opponent to sacrifice a creature and creates a 3/6 haste Avatar that pings opponents when it attacks. The card supports graveyard recursion and token- or sacrifice-based strategies, offering both tempo and a large board-impact finisher.
