Blood Money

The wrath that pays you back. Board wipes are structurally symmetric: you sweep the field and both players start rebuilding from zero, which means the caster spends seven mana to reach parity, not advantage. This one breaks that math by attaching a rebate to every nontoken kill, so a full board dumps a pile of tapped Treasure into your lap the turn after the dust settles. Making the Treasure enter tapped is the balancing wrinkle: the mana does not come online the moment the sweep resolves, so you cannot chain the wipe into an explosive same-turn payoff. You wrath now and cash the Treasure next turn, which is exactly the window in which a rebuilt board would otherwise punish you. Note the asymmetry baked into the counting: only nontoken creatures generate Treasure, so a table full of tokens gets swept for nothing while a board of real creatures funds your recovery. That skews the reward toward killing the decks that lean on hardcast threats rather than go-wide token strategies. The lineage runs through black's long tradition of turning death into resources, from Diabolic Edict through the aristocrat drain engines, but few of those effects reset the whole battlefield and hand the caster the fuel to be first out of the crater.
