Rot-Curse Rakshasa — Dark Renewal
Rot-Curse Rakshasa is a compact, hard-hitting demon from Tarkir Dragonstorm that rewards aggressive play and graveyard planning. At {1}{B} you get a 5/5 with trample that demands an answer immediately. The decayed ability changes the usual attack and block calculus since this Rakshasa cannot remain on defense and will be sacrificed after it attacks, which suits decks that want immediate value and tempo rather than long grindy creatures.
Beyond the battlefield presence, Rot-Curse Rakshasa brings a graveyard utility through its Renew cost. From the graveyard you can pay {X}{B}{B} and exile the card to place decayed counters on target creatures, turning expendable threats into recurring offensive tools and enabling interaction with sacrifice and decay synergies. This Near Mint foil from the Tarkir Dragonstorm set is a Mythic pick for players who pilot attrition strategies or build around decay mechanics in black.
