Poisoned Sip
Mephitic Draught is a compact piece of utility for black decks that need card flow with a price. Mephitic Draught costs {1}{B} and functions as an artifact that replaces a draw spell when it enters the battlefield or dies. The Near Mint Foil finish on this Lost Caverns of Ixalan print gives the art a cold sheen that fits the caverns theme while making the card stand out in a tight hand or graveyard mill line.
Play Mephitic Draught when you need a one time draw and you can afford the one life. It plays nicely with sac outlets and graveyard recursion because the ability triggers both on entering the battlefield and on being put into the graveyard from the battlefield. It is a small read on tempo and value, useful in disruption or engine builds, and the printed flavor ties back to the caverns lore and the uneasy bargains sailors like Dranach take below deck.
