Canonized in Blood
Casting Cost: {1}{B}
Card Type: Enchantment
Card Text:
At the beginning of your end step, if you descended this turn, put a +1/+1 counter on target creature you control. (You descended if a permanent card was put into your graveyard from anywhere.)
5BB, Sacrifice Canonized in Blood: Create a 4/3 white and black Vampire Demon creature token with flying.
Artist: Antonio Jos Manzanedo

Card Strengths and Weaknesses:

• Strengths:

  • Counter Generation: Can provide a +1/+1 counter to a target creature you control at the end of your turn if you've descended during that turn.
  • Token Creation: By sacrificing Canonized in Blood for 5BB, you can create a powerful 4/3 white and black Vampire Demon creature token with flying. This token can be a substantial threat or serve as a powerful blocker.

• Weaknesses:

  • Dependent on Descent: Like Broodrage Mycoid, its effectiveness relies on triggering the descent mechanic, which requires a permanent card to be put into your graveyard from anywhere during the turn.
  • High Mana Cost for Token Creation: Creating the Vampire Demon token requires a significant mana investment (5BB), which can be challenging to achieve quickly.
  • Sacrifice Required: You need to sacrifice Canonized in Blood to create the token, which means you can only use this ability once.

Overall Impression:
Canonized in Blood is an enchantment that rewards you for triggering the descent mechanic by providing a +1/+1 counter to one of your creatures at the end of your turn. Additionally, it offers a potent token creation ability that can be a game-changer if you can afford the high mana cost. This card is best suited for decks that focus on graveyard mechanics or have ways to consistently trigger descent. The token's flying ability and stats make it a formidable threat on the battlefield.
