The Priest of the Blood Rite is a powerful, high-risk, high-reward card. While you get a hefty 5/5 flying Demon creature token when he enters the battlefield, he demands a constant toll of 2 life from you every turn. The flavor text aptly captures the theme of the card, signifying the lengths individuals will go to for power, even at great personal costs. The artwork by David Palumbo would likely be dark and evocative, capturing the essence of a forbidden ritual or dark pact. This card would be an exciting inclusion in decks that can mitigate life loss or use it to their advantage.
