Bleeding Effect — Thread the Strike
Bleeding Effect is a compact engine card for midrange or control pilots who leverage the graveyard as a secondary toolbox. At {2}{W}{B} this Enchantment turns each combat into a probing opportunity: at the beginning of combat on your turn a range of abilities can spontaneously attach to your attackers provided a creature card with that ability sits in your graveyard. This reads as incremental advantage you can plan for and trigger reliably when sequencing corpses and combat steps matters.
The print rewards intentional deckbuilding. Keep at least one flying or first strike creature in the yard and you open multiple attack lanes; stack creatures with evasion or keywords like deathtouch and lifelink to tax blockers and stabilize life totals. Play it into decks that reuse the graveyard or that can recur specific creatures. Experienced players will appreciate how the card converts single permanent value into repeated combat threats. Add Bleeding Effect to your list when you want predictable, repeatable tempo swings across turns.
