Live or Die — The Final Vote
Live or Die fits cleanly into grim blueprints and tight sideboard plans where choice matters. Played for {1}{B}, this instant asks a hard question at a low cost and resolves it without fuss. Use it to strip a blocker from an opponent or to reclaim a fallen ally, depending on which mode you need in the moment. The card reads as a practical tool rather than a gimmick, and it slots well into decks that value removal flexibility and tight mana curves.
The printed effect gives you a simple binary that interacts well with graveyard themes in Duskmourn. It is straightforward in play intent and modest in power level, which makes it a reliable pick for limited and a situational inclusion in constructed builds. There is a small touch of Duskmourn lore in the choice itself whether to drag something back into the world or consign it to final oblivion; the card rewards clear decision making and timing more than flashy sequences.
