Underworld Ledger
Black Market Connections brings a steady economy to black decks while forcing real decisions each turn. As an enchantment that triggers at the start of your precombat main phase, it gives you a menu of value options you can stack across turns. Choose to generate Treasure if you need ramp, draw a card when you need information, or deploy a 3/2 colorless Shapeshifter token with changeling when board presence matters, each at the cost of incremental life.
The card reads like a toolkit for midrange and control pilots who trade life for tempo and card advantage. In a draft or cube environment it smooths mana curves and doubles as a late game finisher when you convert repeated Treasure into big plays. The flavor nods to Assassin's Creed street trade where favors are currency and secrets cost blood. Add this to your deck when you want predictable resource options and repeatable value.
