Treacherous Greed
Treacherous Greed is a compact removal plus card advantage play that fits into life gain or aristocrat style decks. Cast for one generic one white one black, you pay an extra cost by sacrificing a creature that dealt damage this turn. That requirement rewards aggressive lines or combat tricks where a blocker or attacker trades off and leaves you with a straight three card refill. The duality of drawing three cards while dealing incremental life loss to each opponent and gaining three life settles board tension while advancing your game plan.
From a deck building perspective this is tidy redundancy for lists that want both recursion and reach. Use it after a damage step or a small combat window to convert a board interaction into card advantage. The flavor and frame of Murders at Karlov Manor fits the spell. It reads like a logical extraction of value for a deck that trades creatures and squeezes opponents for incremental advantage across multiple turns.
