Warren Soultrader is a recently released black mana goblin from MTG Modern Horizons 3 that is essential for Sacrifice decks, as it has the ability to amass a large amount of Treasure tokens and activate powerful triggers.
Despite several leaks of Magic’s Modern Horizons 3 set before Wizards’ spoiler season, the official confirmation of Warren Soultrader is still pending. We will continue to provide updates on the validity of these leaks as the release of Modern Horizons 3 draws closer.
Warren Soultrader provides its controller with the ability to spend one life, sacrifice an additional Creature, and generate a Treasure token. Although black mana decks already have a plethora of sacrifice options to select from, the potential value and Sacrifice effects offered by Warren Soultrader can greatly enhance certain decks.
Goblins, known as one of the most iconic Creature types in MTG, typically excel in red mana. However, in Modern Horizons 3, goblins are given a new opportunity to explore different aspects of the color pie, and they prove to be well-adapted to this change.
Including Warren Soultrader is essential for decks that rely on black mana ‘pingers’ with abilities that center around creating tokens or sacrificing creatures. The combination of Blood Artist, Zulaport Cutthroat, and Mirkwoods Bats with this card can be devastating, dealing significant damage to your opponents’ life totals.
According to Reddit user phantom56657, some players believe that Warren Soultrader could be a more viable choice compared to one of the most highly regarded Sacrifice cards ever printed in Magic.
“This creature appears to have a superior version of the Phyrexian Altar.”
In agreement with phantom56657, commenter Dragostorm reiterated the point by stating on the Reddit post:
While it does require a source of life for infinite combos, many of the playoffs for these combos provide life. Therefore, I concur with this statement.
By sacrificing your own life to afford the Soultrader, you can guarantee that your opponents’ health will deplete at an accelerated pace with some strategic preparation.
