Why is this card good?

Sheoldred is one of the best four-drops black has gotten in years, and she earns her spot in nearly any black deck. A 4/5 deathtouch body for four is already a fine blocker, but the real power is the symmetrical-but-not draw punishment: you gain 2 every time you draw, and every opponent bleeds 2 per draw. In a multiplayer format full of card advantage engines, fetchlands, and group-draw effects, that drain adds up fast — three opponents drawing across a turn cycle is a brutal clock you didn't have to spend resources on. She's excellent in control, midrange, mono-black goodstuff, and lifegain/aristocrats shells, and she shines against wheel/draw-heavy tables (think Nekusar mirrors, blue spellslinger). She does demand removal, so expect her to eat the table's interaction. Don't lean on her in token go-wide or purely aggressive decks where the slow drain matters less, and skip her if your meta is heavy on board wipes that make her a four-mana speed bump.
