Qarsi High Priest

What this priest converts is one card into another. The sacrifice cost reads like aristocrats fodder, but the engine isn't draining life or building a wide board: it's laundering the card on top of your deck into a face-down body, at instant speed, for a price. That price is what keeps the outlet in check. Every activation demands a creature plus two mana, so it can never snowball the way a free sacrifice enabler would; it grinds one body at a time, on a schedule you set. The 0/2 frame declares the plan plainly. This creature does not attack. It parks behind the line and processes, trading a spent creature for a fresh guess at what's coming next, and because it works at instant speed whenever you have the mana and a body to feed it, you can crack it on an opponent's end step or in response to their removal. Manifest a creature card and you can flip it up whenever you like; hit anything without a face-up mana cost to pay and you've spent a creature to build a vanilla 2/2 that will never improve. That gamble is the design's real cost, and it wants three appetites that rarely share a deck: creatures worth flipping, a steady supply of bodies worth eating, and a graveyard you don't mind feeding. Where most manifest sources hand you the mechanic once off a single trigger, this one manufactures it turn after turn, letting a deck built to reload keep pulling cards off the top and turning them into a board.
