Black Market Connections — Quiet Leads
Black Market Connections is a compact tool for players who trade life for tempo and value. As an enchantment that enters for {2}{B}, it turns each precombat main phase into a soft economy where you choose one or more actions to gain treasure, card advantage, or a versatile body. The options let you convert small life payments into immediate resources that accelerate a midrange plan or fuel a combo, and the foil etched finish on this near mint copy gives it a subtle prestige at the table.
In play it reads like efficient recurring value. Selling contraband yields a Treasure token and a small life cost. Buying information draws and trades a bit more life for card selection. Hiring a mercenary produces a 3/2 colorless shapeshifter with changeling that can slot into many roles. For players familiar with Assassin's Creed flavor, this is the quiet broker in the shadows who funds operations and supplies adaptable help. Add this foil etched rares to decks that want repeatable resource turns and predictable payoffs. Pick it up and start turning life into options.
