Cirith Ungol Patrol is a black creature card with multiple utility aspects:

• Sacrifice Engine: For the cost of {1} Mana and Tapping, you can sacrifice another creature to draw a card. This is very on-them for black, which is sacrifices resources for gains.

• Food token: Alongside the card draw, you also get a food token, which can be a useful lifegain mechanism in the mid to late game.

• Stats: With a 4/5 Body for 5 Mana, it's decently statted, making it an effective blocker or a somewhat threatening attacher.

• Flavor: The Flavour Text Adds a Touch of Narrative, Presumable Echoing the Command of Shagrat, An Orc in the Lore.

Deck utility

• Aristocrats: This Card Could Fit Well in an "Aristocrats" Style deck, which aims to generate value value through sacrifying its own creatures.

• Food Synergy: Decks that have ways to use food tokens for more than just life gain could also find this card beneficial.

• Midrange/Control: The Lifegain from Food tokens and Card Draw Could Be Useful in Grindy Matchups Where Resources Are Key.

• Multiplayer: In multiplayer formats like commander, this card could be even more useful, as it allows you to draw cards and gain life at a relatively low cost, potentialy multiple times if you have multiple creatures to sacrifice.

Overall, Cirith Ungol Patrol is a versatile creature that can provide card advantage and lifegain while serving as a decent body on the battlefield.
