About Sunscourge Champion

Sunscourge Champion, Creature — human wizard, designed by Josu Hernaiz first released in Jul, 2017 in the set Hour of Devastation and was printed exactly in 4 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 3.29.

Sunscourge Champion would be a great addition to a white-based midrange or control deck looking to gain life and stabilize against aggressive strategies. While it provides a decent body and life gain upon entering the battlefield, its true value lies in its Eternalize ability, providing a recurring threat that can help grind out longer games. However, in more competitive settings, other cards like Lyra Dawnbringer or Baneslayer Angel may offer more impactful effects for a similar mana cost and should be considered over Sunscourge Champion unless the lifegain and recurring threat are specifically needed in the deck's strategy.

Rules

07/14/17

For each card with eternalize, a corresponding game play supplement token can be found in some Hour of Devastation booster packs. These supplements are not required to play with cards with eternalize; you can use the same items to represent an eternalized token as you would any other token.

07/14/17

Once you’ve activated an eternalize ability, the card is immediately exiled. Opponents can’t try to stop the ability by exiling the card with an effect such as that of Crook of Condemnation.

07/14/17

Several cards have an eternalize cost that includes “Discard a card.” You can’t discard the card with eternalize to pay its own cost because the card has to be in your graveyard to begin activating its eternalize ability.

07/14/17

The amount of life you gain is determined as Sunscourge Champion’s triggered ability resolves. Players may respond to the ability by attempting to change its power.

07/14/17

The token is a Zombie in addition to its other types and is black instead of its other colors. Its base power and toughness are 4/4. It has no mana cost, and thus its converted mana cost is 0. These are copiable values of the token that other effects may copy.
