Ravenous Demon // Archdemon of Greed flips into a 9/9 flying trample beater for the cost of sacrificing a Human — but that upkeep tax bites hard, demanding another Human every turn or the Archdemon turns on you. Run it only in decks that generate Human tokens reliably enough to treat the sacrifice as fuel, not a crisis.

Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

| oathbreaker | legal |
Ravenous Demon // Archdemon of Greed is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but it sees essentially no competitive play in any of them. In Commander, the repeatable Human-sacrifice requirement makes it a build-around rather than a staple — it belongs in Shadowborn Apostle shells or Human-token engines where the upkeep cost is trivially met. In Legacy and Modern it competes against far more efficient threats and has no meaningful presence. Oathbreaker is its other realistic home, specifically under a Human-synergy signature spell package.
