Bewitching Whispers — When Shessra enters, target creature blocks this turn if able.
Whispers of the Grave — At the beginning of your end step, if a creature died this turn, you may pay 2 life. If you do, draw a card.
Shessra turns every combat and creature death into card advantage, paying 2 life each end step to draw whenever something died. You play a midrange Golgari attrition game: sacrifice fodder, trade creatures, and force unfavorable blocks, all while refilling your hand to grind opponents out. Win by out-resourcing the table and closing with recursion, drain, or a big finisher.
Add free sacrifice outlets (Viscera Seer, Carrion Feeder, Ashnod's Altar) and payoff drainers (Blood Artist, Zulaport Cutthroat) to convert deaths into both cards and damage. Improve mana with fast rocks and fetch/dual lands, and add recursion like Meren of Clan Nel Toth or Liliana, Dreadhorde General to loop value. For higher power, build toward a tight sacrifice combo such as Gravecrawler plus an altar and a drainer for an instant kill.
