Silent Offering
Acolyte of Aclazotz is a compact piece of utility for black decks that lean into sacrifice or incremental life swings. Casting for {2}{B}, this Vampire Cleric presents a repeatable trade of board presence for life manipulation. Tap, sacrifice another creature or an artifact, and each opponent loses one life while you gain one life. That lone point of life gain scales when you can loop small tokens or cheap artifacts, turning incidental losses into steady advantage.
The card fits naturally into token builds and Aristocrat shells that expect a steady cadence of sacrifices. Flavor matches function here with the acolyte acting as a ritual conduit for Aclazotz, trading flesh for power in quiet increments. In play it reads as a small engine rather than a headline threat, useful in the midgame for grinding out close races or enabling tougher plays when combined with drains and recursion.
