I decided to come back to brewing by taking a shot at the new Sultai commander! Wow, this deck got out of hand FAST.

The Tower of the Serpent is a religous structure in Zamora under the use of Thulsa Doom 's snake cult. The temple is dedicated to the worship of Set, the primary deity of Stygians. The tower houses a giant serpent in its sacrificial pit, as well as a large ruby named the Eye of the Serpent. The Tower of the Serpent is a spiring temple and a location in the 1984 sword-and-sorcery adventure movie Conan the Barbarian which based on the stories of the fantasy and horror fiction pulp magazine Weird Tales.

Per the Radio Times, the BBC's latest offering centres on the case of real-life French serial killer Charles Sobhraj, who became the chief suspect in a murder spree which targeted Western travellers in South Asia throughout the 1970s. He was nicknamed The Serpent due to his evasiveness. As the Independent reports, Sobhraj was eventually caught by authorities in 1976 and sentenced to 12 years in jail. A decade later, the notorious killer managed to escape from prison after drugging prison guards. However, he was eventually recaptured and sentenced to a further 10 years in prison.

In 1997, when Sobhraj was released from jail he profited from his notoriety by giving interviews in exchange for money. However, after travelling to Nepal in 2003 — a country in which he could still face criminal charges — Sobhraj was arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment. Per the Express, Sobhraj, who is reported to be in poor health, remains in the Kathmandu prison to this very day and has appealed his conviction on numerous occasions. Most recently in 2017, when the convicted killer petitioned a Nepalese court to adhere to the guidelines of Nepal's Jail Manual, which guarantees the automatic release of prisoners over the age of 72.

Starring Tahar Rahim and Jenna Coleman, the BBC drama is based on the true story of the French-Vietnamese serial killer Charles Sobhraj, who acquired the nickname The Serpent due to his ability to evade the authorities. Sobhraj is thought to have murdered at least 12 people in south-east Asia throughout the 1970s, the majority of whom were young backpackers. He was eventually caught in 1976 and jailed for 12 years. However, after managing to escape from prison a decade later, Sobhraj was again jailed and sentenced to a further 10 years behind bars.

In 1997, he was released and went on to cash in on his criminal status, giving paid interviews to journalists at major publications. Six years later, Sobhraj travelled to Nepal — a country in which he could be arrested. When authorities were notified of his whereabouts, he was eventually caught and sentenced to life imprisonment in a Nepalese jail, where he still resides to this day.

The role of Sobhraj is taken on by French actor Rahim, who is perhaps most notable for starring in the Academy Award-nominated crime drama A Prophet and BBC Two's The Looming Tower.
