Description
Witches are practitioners of witchcraft. They can be male or female and usually possess malignant supernatural powers, often casting curses. They may have the aid of a devil or a familiar. Witches are considered vile and cruel, taking great joy in their evil deeds.[1]
History
Within the game of Magic: The Gathering, witches have been represented by various classes. The more traditional ugly, old women used the type hag, but witches could also be a wizard (e.g. Mistmeadow Witch), a spellshaper (e.g. Cackling Witch), a shaman (e.g. Bitterheart Witch), a cleric (e.g. Exava, Rakdos Blood Witch) or a scarecrow (e.g. Wicker Witch)
With the introduction of the gender neutral subtype warlock, that became the preferred creature class for witches and hags.[2][3][4]
