Creature — Human Rogue
LegalCard DrawRank #257
Whenever one or more other creatures die, draw a card. This ability triggers only once each turn.
1/3
Why is this card good?
Morbid Opportunist is one of the best cheap card-advantage engines for black decks that traffic in death. The key detail: it triggers once per turn, but on any turn — including each opponent's turn. In a four-player game that's potentially four cards per turn cycle for just three mana.
It thrives in aristocrats decks (Meren, Teval, Ayara) where creatures die constantly, but you don't even need to be the one doing the killing — board wipes, combat, and opponents' sacrifice effects all feed it. It's also great in token strategies that throw bodies into the grinder, and stax/attrition decks that grind the board down.
The catch is it's a 1/3 that does nothing the turn it lands and dies to every wrath. Protect it or expect to recast it. Don't run it in decks with no death triggers happening — a go-wide enchantress or artifact deck won't reliably turn it on. Cheap, replaceable, and quietly excellent where it belongs.
