Ashnod the Uncaring

Legendary Creature — Human Artificer

Deathtouch
Whenever you activate an ability of an artifact or creature that isn't a mana ability, if one or more permanents were sacrificed to activate it, you may copy that ability. You may choose new targets for the copy. (Sacrificing an artifact for mana to activate an ability doesn't count.)

Ashnod the Uncaring card art
Ashnod the Uncaring doubles every activated ability that sacrifices a creature, turning one-shot engines like Whisper, Blood Liturgist into factories that fire twice per trigger. The cost is a five-mana legendary body with no built-in protection — if she dies before you untap, you've accomplished nothing.

Commander is the only format where Ashnod the Uncaring belongs. The five-mana cost and legendary status make her a commander or a high-slot support piece in 100-card singleton, where sacrifice synergies are dense enough to justify the investment. Legacy and Vintage are technically legal but the effect is too slow and too narrow to see play in formats defined by fast mana and efficient threats. Oathbreaker is legal and could support a sacrifice-focused planeswalker shell, though the compressed game speed there cuts into her ceiling.

unknown tier

Price data for Ashnod the Uncaring isn't currently available, so check Scryfall or TCGPlayer for the current market rate before buying. Given the narrow but powerful niche she occupies in sacrifice Commander builds, she tends to hold modest value without spiking unless a new combo partner pushes her into the spotlight.
