Sephiroth wants a deck that gains life over and over and gets rewarded for it. It also suits a deck that sacrifices its own creatures to drain opponents' life.

Whenever Sephiroth attacks, you may sacrifice any number of other creatures. If you do, draw that many cards.

Cards That Fit Sephiroth, Fabled SOLDIER
Picked for what they do in Sephiroth's deck. When two cards do the same job, the one with the lower comes first. All of them fit Sephiroth's color identity.Mana ValueThe total amount of mana a card costs, all added up. A card costing two generic and one green has a mana value of three. Wizards renamed this from "converted mana cost" in 2021, so older cards and articles may still use the old name.

Rulings for Sephiroth, Fabled SOLDIER
explain how Sephiroth works in tricky situations. They come from Wizards of the Coast, the company that makes Magic.RulingThe official answer to how a card works in a tricky situation. Most rulings are written by Wizards of the Coast, the company that makes Magic, and a few are notes from Scryfall, the card database Magic players use. A ruling explains a card. It does not change what the card says.Open the full glossary
A nonmodal double-faced card enters with its front face up by default, unless a spell or ability instructs you to put it onto the battlefield transformed or allows you to cast it transformed, in which case it enters with its back face up.
A token that is created as a copy of a double-faced permanent or a double-faced card in another zone is a double-faced token. It will have both the front face and back face of whatever object it's copying. If it's copying a double-faced permanent whose back face is up, the token will enter with its back face up. It can transform if instructed to do so.
Each face of a nonmodal double-faced card has its own set of characteristics: name, types, subtypes, abilities, and so on. While a nonmodal double-faced permanent is on the battlefield, consider only the characteristics of the face that's currently up. The other set of characteristics is ignored.
Each nonmodal double-faced card in this release is cast face up. In every zone other than the battlefield, consider only the characteristics of its front face. If it is on the battlefield, consider only the characteristics of the face that's up; the other face's characteristics are ignored.
If Sephiroth, Fabled SOLDIER and one or more other creatures die at the same time, its last ability will trigger for each of those other creatures. (It won't transform, though.)
If this card somehow enters the battlefield with its back face up, it didn't transform, so you won't get an emblem.
If you are instructed to put a card that isn't a double-faced card onto the battlefield transformed, it will not enter at all. In that case, it stays in the zone it was previously in. For example, if a single-faced card is a copy of Crystal Fragments, it will be exiled during the resolution of its second ability and remain in exile.
In the Commander variant, a double-faced card's color identity is determined by the mana costs and mana symbols in the rules text of both faces combined. If either face has a color indicator or basic land type, those are also considered. For example, Cecil, Dark Knight's color identity is black and white, since its front face is black and its back face has a white color indicator.
The back face of a nonmodal double-faced card usually has a color indicator that defines its color.
The mana value of a nonmodal double-faced card is the mana value of its front face, no matter which face is up.
