Bloodsoaked Champion card art
Bloodsoaked Champion is a one-mana 2/1 that refuses to stay dead — raid lets it return from the graveyard for two mana whenever you attack, which in sacrifice-heavy shells means it's effectively a repeatable resource rather than a one-shot creature. Pair it with Pitiless Plunderer for mana on each death loop, or slot it into Ashnod, Flesh Mechanist to keep feeding the artifact-token engine turn after turn.

Best Commanders

Commanders with the highest synergy

01
Ashnod, Flesh Mechanist

Ashnod, Flesh Mechanist

64.0% of decks · synergy 0.60

Ashnod, Flesh Mechanist wants creatures to sacrifice repeatedly, and Bloodsoaked Champion's raid recursion turns a single one-mana investment into an indefinite sacrifice target — attack, recur, sacrifice, repeat every turn cycle.

02
Nalia de'Arnise

Nalia de'Arnise

56.7% of decks · synergy 0.55

Nalia de'Arnise cares about Rogues and creatures with the dungeon-venturing trigger, and Bloodsoaked Champion's Warrior type fills the party count while its self-recursion means Nalia always has a cheap attacker to swing with and trigger raid on subsequent turns.

03
Burakos, Party LeaderFolk Hero

Burakos, Party Leader // Folk Hero

40.9% of decks · synergy 0.39

Burakos, Party Leader // Folk Hero runs Bloodsoaked Champion as a persistent Warrior that keeps the party count topped off — its ability to return from the graveyard means one removal spell doesn't permanently knock a party member off the board.

04
Silvar, Devourer of the FreeTrynn, Champion of Freedom

Silvar, Devourer of the Free // Trynn, Champion of Freedom

19.6% of decks · synergy 0.19

Trynn wants to attack every turn to produce Human tokens, and Bloodsoaked Champion slots in as a cheap attacker that satisfies raid on itself — Silvar then has a steady stream of fodder to sacrifice for indestructible counters.

05
Anhelo, the Painter

Anhelo, the Painter

17.5% of decks · synergy 0.17

Anhelo, the Painter needs a cheap Assassin as the casualty fodder to copy spells, and Bloodsoaked Champion is exactly that — one mana, Assassin subtype, and it comes back from the graveyard after being sacrificed as long as raid was triggered that turn.

In Commander, Bloodsoaked Champion is a role-player rather than a headliner — it earns its slot in sacrifice and aristocrats builds that need a low-cost, recursion-proof body to churn through death triggers repeatedly. In Modern and Pioneer, it has seen fringe play in aggressive black shells, where the raid cost is easy to satisfy and a 2/1 that comes back from the bin applies persistent pressure without card investment. Legacy has enough efficient threats that Bloodsoaked Champion doesn't crack most lists, though the combination of one mana and self-recursion is never irrelevant in black aggro. Across formats, the ceiling is always the same engine: attack, die to a sacrifice outlet, pay two to return, repeat.
