Character Background

Consumed by Greed reads like a compact manifesto for pragmatic black value: at instant speed it answers your opponent’s largest threat while offering conditional recursion if you’re willing to “gift” them a card, thematically trading their want for your regain. It best supports a control/value or midrange game plan—use it as removal on an opponent’s surprise attacker or as a tempo win when you strip a key blocker in combat—while enabling longer-term advantage by returning a high-impact creature from your graveyard to hand when you promise the gift. Deck-building-wise, it pairs especially well with self-mill or reanimation shells: pack cheap reanimation spells or spells that cast creatures from hand (or creatures with strong ETB effects you intend to recast), so the returned card immediately translates to value. In limited, it’s a premium uncommon removal; in constructed, lean mono‑black or Jund lists that want efficient, conditional recursion and are willing to trade one card for repeated threats. Use the gift option when you can afford the card in hand or when the recursion will swing the game.
