Blood Crypt Ready for the Red Black Mana Base

Blood Crypt from Ravnica Remastered is a straightforward tool for decks that need both Swamp and Mountain. The Retro Frame art makes the card feel like a piece of Ravnica history while the printed rule remains modern and precise. As Blood Crypt enters the battlefield you may pay 2 life. If you do not choose to pay 2 life it enters the battlefield tapped. That choice is simple but consequential during mid game sequencing.
Use Blood Crypt to smooth your mana and enable early plays that require black or red. It fits easily into Rakdos shells, aggro decks that need consistent color, or control lists that tolerate a life payment for speed. The card performs best when you plan your life total and turn tempo in advance instead of reacting at the last moment.
