Baba Lysaga, Night Witch card art
Baba Lysaga, Night Witch turns every sacrifice into a drain-one with upside, and pairing her with Dross Scorpion or Rendmaw, Creaking Nest converts that drip into a loop that ends the game. The cost is real — she wants a dedicated sacrifice shell to fire reliably, and she does nothing as a standalone threat.

Rendmaw, Creaking Nest generates tokens on every creature death, which feeds directly back into Baba Lysaga, Night Witch's triggered ability — each new token can be sacrificed to keep the engine spinning and the life total gap widening.

Baba Lysaga, Night Witch is a Commander card through and through — her value compounds over a long game with multiple opponents to drain, and she wants a supporting cast of sacrifice outlets and token generators that a 99-card deck can assemble. She's technically legal in Legacy and Vintage, but a four-mana 3/3 that requires setup has no competitive role in either format. Oathbreaker is the one fringe case where she could headline a sacrifice-focused list, though the compressed game length makes the engine harder to assemble in time.

Price Context

Current price

$0.34 bulk tier

At $0.34, Baba Lysaga, Night Witch is firmly bulk — you're paying almost nothing for a card with real combo potential in the right shell. Bulk rares that anchor specific infinite loops tend to stay cheap unless a breakout deck pulls them, so grab copies now if the sacrifice archetype is already on your radar.
