Echoes of the Forgotten
Priest of Forgotten Gods is a compact engine for attrition and resource conversion. For {1}{B} you get a 1/2 Human Cleric that turns expendable creatures into tempo and card advantage. Tap the Priest and sacrifice two other creatures to force any number of target players to each lose 2 life and sacrifice a creature while you gain {B}{B} and draw a card. The ability reads like a brutal economy play yet it also doubles as a way to trigger death triggers or fuel graveyard synergies.
In gameplay the card fits in sacrifice shells, aristocrat lists, or midrange decks that can produce fodder. It asks you to plan your fodder and timing. Play it when you can get incremental value across board state and hand size at the same time. The flavor ties back to Ravnica lore where older cults quietly harvest power; it feels appropriate in decks that turn loss into advantage.
