Master of Dark Rites
Master of Dark Rites is a compact black one drop built for ritual engines and graveyard synergy. The card trades a fragile body for explosive mana conversion. Tap the Master and sacrifice a second creature to generate three black mana that is restricted to Vampire Cleric or Demon spells. That limitation keeps it narrow but potent in decks that lean into tribal or sacrificial themes.
In play the Master rewards tight sequencing and token economy. It tilts toward decks that can produce fodder or recur creatures reliably. Use it to pay for high impact finishers or to chain multiple casts in a single turn. The card reads like a tactical tool from Ixalan lore then becomes a reliable ritual source at the table.
