🖋️ Curator's Notes

Fear (This creature can't be blocked except by artifact creatures and/or black creatures.)

Whenever a player casts a spell, sacrifice a creature.

"Its precious corpses dance like puppets to attract mindless nim prey."

If Desecration Elemental is the only creature you control when its triggered ability resolves, you’ll have to sacrifice it.

This ability triggers off anyone casting a spell, including you, not just Desecration Elemental’s controller or an opponent.
