About Brood Butcher
Brood Butcher, Creature — eldrazi drone, designed by Daarken first released in Oct, 2015 in the set Battle for Zendikar Promos and was printed exactly in 2 different ways.
Brood Butcher would be beneficial in a Golgari sacrifice-themed deck in Magic: the Gathering, where generating tokens and sacrificing creatures for value is a key strategy. While it provides some utility with its ability to generate Eldrazi Scion tokens and weaken opposing creatures, there are potentially better cards like Woe Strider or Viscera Seer that offer more consistent value and synergy in such a deck. However, Brood Butcher could still see play in more casual or budget decks looking to explore different strategies within the Golgari color combination.
Rules
08/25/15
Cards with devoid use frames that are variations of the transparent frame traditionally used for Eldrazi. The top part of the card features some color over a background based on the texture of the hedrons that once imprisoned the Eldrazi. This coloration is intended to aid deckbuilding and game play.
08/25/15
Eldrazi and Scion are each separate creature types. Anything that affects Eldrazi will affect these tokens, for example.
08/25/15
If a card loses devoid, it will still be colorless. This is because effects that change an object’s color (like the one created by devoid) are considered before the object loses devoid.
08/25/15
Other cards and abilities can give a card with devoid color. If that happens, it’s just the new color, not that color and colorless.
08/25/15
Some instants and sorceries that create Eldrazi Scions require targets. If all targets for such a spell have become illegal by the time that spell tries to resolve, the spell won’t resolve and none of its effects will happen. You won’t get any Eldrazi Scions.
