About Egon, God of Death // Throne of Death

Egon, God of Death // Throne of Death, Legendary creature — god , designed by Jason A. Engle & Jason A. Engle first released in Jan, 2021 in the set Kaldheim and was printed exactly in 5 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 3.31.

Egon, God of Death could be a great addition to a graveyard-focused deck in Magic: the Gathering, particularly in a black-based control or midrange strategy. Its ability to draw cards and potentially avoid being sacrificed by exiling cards from the graveyard can provide card advantage and help maintain board presence. However, there are other cards like Tarmogoyf or Gurmag Angler that offer more immediate impact and better stats for their cost, making Egon a more niche choice that may not see widespread play in competitive decks.

Rules

02/05/21

If an effect allows you to play a specific modal double-faced card, you may cast it as a spell or play it as a land, as determined by which face you choose to play. If an effect allows you to cast (rather than “play”) a specific modal double-faced card, you can’t play it as a land.

02/05/21

If an effect puts a double-faced card onto the battlefield, it enters with its front face up. If that front face can’t be put onto the battlefield, it doesn’t enter the battlefield.

02/05/21

If Egon leaves the battlefield before its triggered ability resolves, you’ll still exile two cards from your graveyard if you can and draw a card if you can’t.

02/05/21

In the Commander variant, a double-faced card’s color identity is determined by the mana costs and mana symbols in the rules text of both faces combined. If either face has a color indicator or basic land type, those are also considered.

02/05/21

The converted mana cost of a modal double-faced card is based on the characteristics of the face that’s being considered. On the stack and battlefield, consider whichever face is up. In all other zones, consider only the front face. This is different than how the converted mana cost of a transforming double-faced card is determined.

02/05/21

There is a single triangle icon in the top left corner of the front face. There is a double triangle icon in the top left corner of the back face.

02/05/21

You choose which cards you’re exiling as Egon’s triggered ability is resolving. If there are two or more cards in your graveyard at that time, you must exile two of them. You can’t choose not to exile cards and sacrifice Egon instead to draw a card.
