Blade for the Books
Tithing Blade is a compact piece of utility for black decks that trade tempo for board control. The card name and function are plain. For {1}{B} you get an artifact that strips a creature from each opponent the moment it arrives. That enter the battlefield trigger clears blockers or removes key attackers and works cleanly in multiplayer as well as one on one. The foil finish on this Light Play copy highlights the serrated edge and the ornate hilt shown in the Lost Caverns of Ixalan art.
Beyond the immediate disruption the blade offers, it has a built in Craft ability that lets you recur it by sacrificing a creature or a creature card from your graveyard and paying a moderate cost. Use it to fuel graveyard synergies or to secure value when a creature is already destined for the bin. The card reads like a toolbox piece in a sacrifice deck and fits easily into builds that want repeatable creature removal without relying on exile spells or direct burn.
