Pitiless Plunderer — Greed with a Purpose
Pitiless Plunderer is a compact value engine for any deck that sacrifices or trades creatures. For three and a black you get a 1 4 body that pays dividends when your board grinds into attrition. Whenever another creature you control dies you immediately create a Treasure token. That constant token generation turns death into resource and smooths mana curves for repeat plays or late game finishes.
Use the card as a reliable tax on combat and removal. It pairs naturally with token makers, sacrifice outlets and recursion effects. In lore Pitiless Plunderer sits at a dockside ledger, tallying losses as gains. In play it reads like a small artifact factory that rewards attrition and careful sequencing.
