Raise a Glass to Profit
Cruel Celebrant is a compact pay off for decks that willingly trade creatures for value. As a one mana white black Vampire with a persistent death trigger, it converts each of your small losses into incremental life and opponent bleed. It fits naturally into aristocrat shells, sacrifice engines and token lists where multiple creatures die in a single turn and you want each casualty to matter.
Play it early as a repeatable threat that pressures opponents while stabilizing your life total. It pairs cleanly with mass sacrifice outlets and persistent token generators. The card reads plainly so you can plan lines around the trigger stack and predict life swings. In Lost Caverns of Ixalan it brings a steady, reliable clock that punishes overcommitment and rewards deliberate attrition.
