Devil's Deal

Devil's Deal is a slang term used by Magic R&D to describe permanents that start helping you but have the potential to hurt you in the end. These are most often creatures or enchantments, but occasionally show up in other forms.

This mechanic is primary in black, because it is the color of "power at any cost."

Examples

 * Lord of the Pit
 * Demonic Pact
 * Infernal Contract
