Black Market Connections: Quiet Profits
Black Market Connections is a compact engine that rewards calculated risk. As an enchantment from Universes Beyond Assassin's Creed it gives you a repeatable choice each turn that trades life for value. Whether you need mana tokens to power a combo, a card to push your plan, or a board piece that can fit any role, this card converts margin into resources on your schedule.
In practical play the card reads like a three way toolkit. Pick the Treasure option when you want ramp and sacrifice fodder. Pick the draw option when you need a high impact turn. Pick the shapeshifter option when you require a resilient body that can block or become another creature type. The life payment scales with benefit and fits well in decks that can recover life or that profit from low life totals. Add this extended art near mint foil to a Commander or modern graveyard toolbox deck and it quietly improves your turns.
