Lightless Evangel

The reward is spread across two currencies aristocrat decks already spend: creatures and artifacts. Most sacrifice-payoffs at this rate feed on one or the other, and the ones that count artifacts tend to live in colorless or artifact-matters shells rather than at the front of a black sacrifice curve. Folding both into a single trigger means a Vampire that grows off a Blood token cracked for a draw, a Treasure spent for ramp, a Food or Clue consumed for value, or a creature fed to any outlet, and the deck never has to settle on one flavor of fodder to keep it fed. Crucially, there is no once-per-turn cap on the trigger, so a single turn that empties a board of Treasures into a sacrifice outlet, or chains several fodder creatures through one dies-matters engine, stacks every counter at once: the growth is as happy with one explosive turn as with a slow drip across several. That makes it flexible about tempo rather than tied to it. It does nothing about the sacrifice itself (no drain, no card, no death trigger of its own), so the counters are the whole return, which keeps a two-mana body from also doing an outlet's job. What it represents is a small consolidation of a design black has circled for years: a proactive threat that turns the incidental sacrifices an aristocrat deck was already making into a clock, rather than a separate engine you have to build around.
