About Minister of Pain

Minister of Pain, Creature — human shaman, designed by Izzy first released in Mar, 2015 in the set Dragons of Tarkir. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of £ 0.27.

This card, Minister of Pain, would be beneficial in a deck that focuses on sacrificing creatures for value or controlling the opponent's board with -1/-1 effects. Decks that revolve around sacrificing creatures for various benefits, such as triggering death triggers or generating tokens, would find this card particularly useful. While Minister of Pain is a solid choice for such decks, there are potentially better options like Plaguecrafter or Fleshbag Marauder, which offer more versatile effects. However, Minister of Pain could still see play in specific strategies that aim to exploit its -1/-1 effect efficiently.

Rules

A creature with exploit “exploits a creature” when the controller of the exploit ability sacrifices a creature as that ability resolves.

You can sacrifice the creature with exploit if it’s still on the battlefield. This will cause its other ability to trigger.

You can’t sacrifice more than one creature to any one exploit ability.
