Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Black Market Connections is a quintessential value engine for black decks that can afford to pay life as a resource, especially midrange and control shells that want their turns to keep snowballing. Each first main phase, it lets you tailor the payoff to the board state: Treasure helps smooth mana and accelerate expensive plays, the card draw keeps your hand stocked, and the 3/2 changeling body gives you a flexible attacker or blocker that can also pick up tribal synergies if you’re built for them. The Assassin’s Creed flavor fits perfectly—everything here feels like covert deals, stolen assets, and hired muscle. In practice, this card shines with lifegain to offset the costs, and with sacrifice synergies that turn Treasure and expendable tokens into additional advantage. It’s especially strong in decks that want repeated incremental gains rather than a single explosive turn, making it a premium source of inevitability.
