Illicit Masquerade — Keep an Eye on Your Impostors
Illicit Masquerade is a compact engine for decks that value recursion and tactical attrition. The card arrives with flash so it can surprise opponents on the end step or protect a board state. On entry it places impostor counters across your creatures which turns ordinary trades into repeatable value; when a creature with an impostor counter dies it is exiled and you may return another creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield.
This extended art Near Mint Foil printing adds a collectible finish while remaining highly playable. Use it to enable efficient creature loops, protect key attackers by timing sacrifices, or rebuild after battlefield sweepers. The effect favors midrange and sacrifice synergies and reads cleanly at {3}{B} mana cost, making it straightforward to slot into many black decks from Commander to Standard adjacent formats.
