Morbid Opportunist — Quiet Profit
Morbid Opportunist is a compact engine for decks that convert casualty into card advantage. Casting for {2}{B}, this 1/3 Human Rogue rewards trades and board clears by replacing lost threats with fresh resources. The ability triggers once per turn, so it pairs cleanly with sacrifice synergies, token churn, and sweepers where consistent card draw matters more than burst value.
On Innistrad the card reads like a chapter note more than a proclamation. Players will recognize how Morbid Opportunist slots into middling creature suites or sacrifice shells: it survives early pressure, pressures blocks with a single toughness buffer, and turns death triggers into incremental advantage over the long game. If you build around recurring casualties or one for one removal, this near mint English printing from Foundations Jumpstart is a sensible inclusion. Consider pairing it with sacrifice outlets, sacrifice fodder, or mass removal to maximize the trigger each turn.
