About Malakir Familiar

Malakir Familiar, Creature — bat, designed by Alejandro Mirabal first released in May, 2020 in the set Battle for Zendikar and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.70.

A deck that focuses on gaining life consistently, such as a lifegain or vampire tribal deck, would benefit from including Malakir Familiar. Its ability to grow in power whenever you gain life can make it a strong and versatile threat on the battlefield. However, there may be better options depending on the specific strategy of the deck, such as Vampire Nighthawk, which also has flying and deathtouch but comes with lifelink as well, providing immediate life gain benefits. Whether Malakir Familiar sees play ultimately depends on the synergy with the rest of the deck and the overall game plan.

Rules

08/25/15

In a Two-Headed Giant game, life gained by your teammate won’t cause the ability to trigger, even though it causes your team’s life total to increase.

08/25/15

The ability triggers just once for each life-gaining event, whether it’s 1 life from Drana’s Emissary or 7 life from Nissa’s Renewal.
