Chthonian Nightmare Enchantment
Chthonian Nightmare slips into play with a dark promise. This Modern Horizons 3 rare enchantment costs {1}{B} and, on entering the battlefield, you get three energy counters. Those counters fuel flexible plays and graveyard synergies, letting you set up midgame power turns while keeping pressure on your opponent.
Its second ability creates a persistent loop: you may pay X and sacrifice a creature to return Chthonian Nightmare to its owner's hand, then reanimate a target creature card with mana value X from your graveyard to the battlefield. This action can only be activated as a sorcery, which means timing matters and you’ll need to plan your turns to maximize value from the graveyard.
