Woe Strider

The sacrifice engine that comes with its own fuel. Most free sacrifice outlets ask you to bring the fodder yourself; this one arrives with a 0/1 Goat already attached, so the outlet is live the turn it lands. That matters because a repeatable, no-mana sacrifice ability is the connective tissue of every aristocrats deck: it turns death triggers into a loop, converts board presence into card selection via the scry, and gives sacrifice payoffs a reliable trigger source. The scry is small, but the availability is the point: one activation per turn cycle is rarely the ceiling, and the outlet costs nothing but the creature you were going to sacrifice anyway. Then there is the second life. Escape lets it climb back out of the graveyard as a 5/4, and the exile-four cost is not a tax so much as a design lever: it asks a self-mill or aristocrats shell that is already filling its yard to spend that resource, which those decks want to do regardless. A sacrifice outlet that trades with a removal spell and simply comes back is a fundamentally different threat than one that dies for good; it makes the card a grind engine rather than a fragile enabler. The Goat, the free outlet, and the recursion together describe a single job: keep the aristocrats machine turning even through spot removal and board wipes.
