Gambit of the Grave
Misfortune Teller arrives like a calculated risk for a black commander deck. A three and a black drop with deathtouch and a low body lets it trade up in combat while triggering a repeatable graveyard interaction. When it enters the battlefield or deals combat damage to a player you exile a target card from a graveyard and resolve one of three clean payoffs. Creature cards spawn a 2/2 black Rogue token, lands become a Treasure token, and everything else turns into three points of life for you.
Play it where removal matters and graveyards are a resource. It slots into sacrifice synergies and token engines, or it can be a modular threat that taxes opponents who rely on their yard. The design fits the Outlaws of Thunder Junction mood by mixing risk with quick returns and adding utility both on offense and in longer attrition games.
