Grave Trade for a Land
Perilous Forays rewards cold calculation in midgame positions. Perilous Forays is an enchantment that converts bodies on the board into guaranteed mana sources. Cast it for {3}{B}{B} and you gain a repeatable play pattern where sacrificing a creature and paying one mana fetches a basic land tapped from your library. The card anchors grindy decks and enables value lines that refill your mana while advancing board or graveyard synergies.
From a Ravnica perspective this card fits guild strategies that prize efficient resource exchange. Use it to tutor the specific basic you need, to fuel heavier spells or to trigger enter the battlefield and death triggers. Perilous Forays is practical in sacrifice archetypes and utility builds where each creature can be traded for tempo or setup. It reads simply but changes lines of play, especially when combined with creatures that leave a secondary benefit after they go to the graveyard.
