About Nightmare Shepherd

Nightmare Shepherd, Enchantment creature — demon, designed by Tyler Jacobson first released in May, 2020 in the set Theros Beyond Death and was printed exactly in 6 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.22. It's a key card in 1 combos.

Nightmare Shepherd would be a strong addition to a black-based midrange or sacrifice-themed deck in Magic: the Gathering, as it provides value by creating token copies of creatures that die, potentially generating additional card advantage and board presence. While there may be other cards that offer similar effects, Nightmare Shepherd's ability to create flying tokens with additional synergy in a sacrifice strategy makes it a viable option for certain decks, particularly those looking to generate incremental advantage over time.

Rules

01/24/20

Any enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied creature will trigger when the token enters the battlefield. Any “as [this creature] enters the battlefield” or “[this creature] enters the battlefield with” abilities of the creature will also work.

01/24/20

If something becomes a copy of the token, the copy is also a 1/1 and a Nightmare.

01/24/20

If the copied creature was copying something else, then the token enters the battlefield as whatever that creature copied.

01/24/20

The token copies the creature as it last existed on the battlefield before it died, not as it existed in the graveyard before it was exiled.
