Hag are a creature type used for cards that depict a kind of malevolent female faerie, bearing the appearance of a wizened old woman. Sometimes Hags are described as nightmare spirits. Hags have appeared in all colors, save red.
The first cards to bear the type were Brine Hag in Legends and Scarwood Hag in The Dark.
Shadowmoor
Hags returned with a vengeance on the plane of Shadowmoor, where these witchy creatures were known as gwyllions. Gwyllions preyed on travelers who would dare cross through the rotting farmlands and bogs they call their home.[1] Examples are Desecrator Hag and Gwyllion Hedge-Mage.
Theros
The Fates of Theros were hag sisters who watched over and controlled the destinies of all living creatures on the plane. Even the Gods were controlled by the Fates. One of the Fates was named Adrasteia.[2] The Fates were represented by Fate Unraveler.
Trivia
- Gwyllions are the most human-like of all Hags.
