Victimize: Dark Bargain for Reanimation
Victimize is a deliberate black sorcery from Modern Horizons 3 that leans into graveyard play and reanimation. For {2}{B}, you choose two target creature cards in your graveyard and sacrifice a creature. If you do, return the chosen cards to the battlefield tapped. The effect creates a clean two for one swap that can reshape a stalled board and press advantage on the late turns. It's a compact tool for decks that lean on recursions and careful timing rather than raw speed.
The card fits neatly into reanimator and sacrifice-centered shells, where a reliable outlet keeps threats cycling back into play. Timing matters because the returned creatures enter the battlefield tapped, which influences how you sequence follow-up plays. The flavor text nods to a necromancer’s measured bargain, underscoring the practical, no-nonsense approach to value that Modern Horizons 3 invites into the fold.
