Clean Cut for a Dark Tax
Tithing Blade is a compact tool that punishes boards where opponents rely on a single creature to hold the line. Tithing Blade enters the battlefield and forces each opponent to sacrifice a creature, which makes it a useful answer against token swarms and creature engines. The card is economical at {1}{B} and fits into decks that want a low cost artifact with a meaningful enter the battlefield effect.
The craft ability gives this blade a second life by letting you pay {4}{B} and exile it along with a creature you control or a creature card from your graveyard to return it transformed under your control. That interaction rewards careful sequencing and graveyard planning and pairs well with sacrifice outlets and recursion. For players who pilot Lost Caverns of Ixalan lists the card functions as both a disruption piece and a setup for deeper synergies.
