Midnight Reaper: Quiet Value from the Shadows
Midnight Reaper is a compact source of card advantage that rewards sacrifice and attrition. For {2}{B} you get a 3/2 Zombie Knight that converts the death of your nontoken creatures into cards while punishing your life total by a point. In a deck that sacrifices creatures, trades creatures on the board, or runs recurring death triggers, Midnight Reaper turns each loss into replacement and momentum.
On Ravnica the Guildpact favors efficient, repeatable interactions and Midnight Reaper fits that philosophy. Play it in Aristocrats lists, value midrange builds, or fill a creature heavy black shell where repeated death fodder is reliable. The foil from Ravnica Remastered shows the Reaper perched over a rain slick street, a good reminder that each casualty can be a resource if you sequence plays carefully and keep a read on your life total.
