Midnight Reaper (Ravnica Remastered) Medium Play

Midnight Reaper — Graveyard Value Engine

Midnight Reaper is a compact engine for decks that trade life for card advantage. The card name tells the story and the text does the work: for {2}{B} you get a 3/2 Zombie Knight that converts each nontoken creature death into a card draw at the cost of a single point of life. It meshes cleanly with sacrifice synergies, small trades in combat, and any plan that mills or sacrifices creatures to accrue incremental advantage over a few turns.

Play it in midrangy black decks when you want dependable card flow without needing a large board. The flavor fits Ravnica well since the Reaper moves through alleys and guild politics alike. Expect tight sequencing when blocks or sac triggers resolve because each loss is both resource and risk. Use removal and self mill to time draws and keep the life total manageable.
