Rakshasa Vizier
A three-color delve payoff that asks you to spend the same graveyard twice. The trigger counts cards, not events, so the most natural fuel at the time it appeared was delve itself: every card banished to discount a Treasure Cruise or shrink a Murderous Cut quietly stacked counters here, and a single mass-delve cast can swing the 4/4 several sizes in one go. That is also the design tension. The ability does nothing on an empty graveyard, then rewards you for emptying it somewhere else, demanding a setup more involved than a flat anthem: the bin has to fill before it can be cashed out, and the cashing-out is the same resource you already wanted to spend on the discount. What keeps it from looping cleanly is that the counters ride a body that dies in response, so the growth is real but fragile, and the spells that drive it are mostly one-shots rather than repeatable engines. It reads as a build-around bauble more than a staple. But the structural idea (a graveyard that fills, then pays out a second time on the way to exile) is the kind of engine shape that outlived this particular Demon as its centerpiece, recognizable in graveyard decks that came along well after.
