Death Baron Rules Text & Legality

Death Baron

Skeletons you control and other Zombies you control get +1/+1 and have deathtouch. (Any amount of damage they deal to a creature is enough to destroy it.)

For the necromancer barons, killing and recruitment are one and the same.

Death Baron is legal in Standard, Pioneer, Modern, Legacy and Commander, and not legal in Pauper.

Death Baron Rulings

  • Jul 13, 2018

    A creature that's both a Skeleton and a Zombie will get the bonus only once.

  • Jul 13, 2018

    Because damage remains marked on a creature until it's removed as the turn ends, nonlethal damage dealt to a Skeleton or Zombie you control may become lethal if Death Baron leaves the battlefield during that turn.

  • Jul 13, 2018

    Death Baron doesn't normally affect itself. If you manage to turn it into a Skeleton, however, then it will give itself +1/+1 and deathtouch.
