Soulcoil Viper (The Lost Caverns of Ixalan) Near Mint

Reanimate with Bite

Soulcoil Viper from The Lost Caverns of Ixalan is a practical tool for graveyard based decks that want repeatable threats. The card lets you pay one black mana then tap and sacrifice the Viper to reanimate a creature directly onto the battlefield with a finality counter. It is inexpensive to cast at {2}{B} and trades tempo for a guaranteed later exile if the returned creature dies.

Play it when you need a one time reanimation that also fuels sacrifice synergies. Soulcoil Viper works well in decks focused on value from the graveyard and effects that care about creatures leaving play. The flavor matches Ixalan underside tactics where serpents coil around lost rites to force the dead to serve again.
