Morbid Opportunist
Creature — Human Rogue
Why Play Morbid Opportunist
At three mana for reliable card draw, Morbid Opportunist shines in creature-heavy metas where trades happen frequently. Sacrifice-based decks get the most value, turning their own creatures into resources while refilling their hand each turn. The once-per-turn restriction prevents explosive card advantage but ensures steady value in grindy matchups where creatures die naturally through combat or removal.Format Notes
Commander represents this card's strongest format, where multiplayer games guarantee frequent creature deaths and the political nature rewards incremental advantage engines. Pioneer and Modern see occasional play in aristocrat-style decks, though faster formats often demand more immediate impact. The budget-friendly price point makes it accessible for casual constructed play across all legal formats.Combos & Synergies
Viscera Seer creates a perfect engine, letting you sacrifice creatures for scry value while triggering card draw every turn. Blood Artist effects double your value from creature deaths, dealing damage while Morbid Opportunist draws cards from the same triggers. Token generators like Bitterblossom provide consistent fodder to sacrifice, ensuring you hit the draw trigger reliably while maintaining board presence for aggressive strategies.Featured in These Decks
