Feast of the Maw
Abundant Maw (Retro Frame) is a heavy hitting Eldrazi Leech that rewards aggressive board planning and calculated sacrifices. The card reads like a slow but reliable engine: a printed mana cost of {8} is offset by Emerge {6}{B}, letting you bring the 6/4 body down with a creature to sacrifice and a tight life swing on entry. When you cast this spell, target opponent loses 3 life and you gain 3 life, which doubles as removal bait and a stabilizer against aggressive decks.
On Innistrad its presence feels pragmatic rather than flashy. The creature art shows a viscous, drifting maw that matches the set tone of gothic decay and eldritch hunger. Use Abundant Maw in midrange builds that can fuel Emerge, or as a late game play to close out a war of attrition. Condition noted as Near Mint and the Retro Frame adds collector appeal while preserving the classic layout for draft and Commander play. Pick it up to shore up lifegain lines and to pressure opponents who cannot reliably block or trade into a 6 4 body.
