{B}, {T}, Sacrifice this artifact: Each equipped creature and Equipment you control gains deathtouch until end of turn.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Hemlock Vial is a clean little value artifact that fits best in control or midrange decks, especially those that care about Equipment. The entry trigger replaces itself with a card, so you’re rarely down material, and the single life loss is a trivial cost in exchange for smoothing draws and enabling artifact synergies. Its real payoff is the activated ability: for {B}, tapping, and sacrificing it, every equipped creature and Equipment you control gains deathtouch until end of turn, turning even small attackers or support pieces into lethal threats in combat. That makes it excellent for forcing unfavorable blocks, breaking board stalls, or protecting an attack step in an Equipment-heavy build. Pair it with cheap equipment that can stay attached across multiple bodies, or with cards that reward sacrificing artifacts, since Hemlock Vial wants to be used once and traded up. The Assassin’s Creed flavor suits its poisonous, covert lethality: subtle at first, devastating when deployed.
