Discovered Rite of Consumption —May 23, 2020

I just discovered this card Rite of Consumption while looking up stuff on Scryfall and it's everything I could ever want in a card for this deck. It's effectively a "fling" card with life link attached. This synergizes incredibly well with Wall of Blood, Moltensteel Dragon, and Greven, Predator Captain. Fling one of these guys, take out an opponent, and recast Licia for 3 mana easy.

If you attack with Licia first before using it on her, you can get get double the life gain for her power (or even double the face damage). Great for trying to get over 50 for Aetherflux Reservoir in a pinch or for added fuel to use towards other things.

I decided to take out Hatred for this card as I always found hatred to be just a tad too mana heavy to use effectively in this deck and there weren't TOO many targets I would have liked to use it on anyway. At 2 cmc, Rite of Consumption does a lot more for me.
