Obsessive Pursuit
Oracle Text
When this enchantment enters and at the beginning of your upkeep, you lose 1 life and create a Clue token. (It's an artifact with "{2}, Sacrifice this token: Draw a card.")
Whenever you attack, put X +1/+1 counters on target attacking creature, where X is the number of permanents you've sacrificed this turn. If X is three or greater, that creature gains lifelink until end of turn.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Obsessive Pursuit is a grindy value engine that rewards you for turning expendable resources into pressure, making it especially strong in sacrifice and midrange shells. The enchantment steadily bleeds you for 1 life while handing you a Clue each turn, so it asks you to convert that card-finding into deliberate sacrifice sequences rather than slow card draw. The real payoff comes when you attack: every permanent you’ve sacrificed this turn translates into +1/+1 counters on a single attacking creature, and three or more sacrifices add lifelink, turning a modest swing into a stabilizing blow. In practice, this pairs well with decks full of Treasures, Food, Clues, token fodder, and recursive permanents; cheap sacrifice outlets and effects that replace themselves are ideal. If you can sacrifice three permanents before combat, even a small evasive threat can become a lifelinking finisher, making this card a compelling engine for attrition-based aggro-control builds.
