Blasphemous Edict — The Thirteenth Toll
Blasphemous Edict trades subtlety for finality. As a sorcery from the Foundations set, it reads clean and brutal: pay {3}{B}{B} or pay {B} if there are thirteen or more creatures on the battlefield, then each player sacrifices thirteen creatures of their choice. The card functions as both a table-level reset and a one-sided blow depending on board state. An experienced pilot will build around the conditional cost to either empty the board or turn a crowded battlefield into a decisive advantage.
The card rewards deck construction that leverages token flood strategies, attrition engines, and repeatable sacrifice outlets. In multiplayer pods the trigger is especially potent; timing and sequencing matter. Use Blasphemous Edict where thirteen matters, and it will act as a decisive sweeper or a strategic concession to opponents who overcommit. Near Mint condition and English language printing make this copy suitable for competitive play or collection without concern for wear.
