Spoils of the Vault
 
I've always had a great deal of affection for this card. It's perhaps the perfect illustration of black's win-at-all-costs mentality, and that's coming from someone who's played Dark Confidant and Greater Gargadon together. I also like that it has almost the exact same game text as Demonic Consultation but was dismissed, even though there are any number of ways to minimize or protect yourself from the effect. Martyr of Sands and the like are the most obvious, but every deck in Commander starts with an enormous built-in buffer, and we've got a card that interacts very well with it indeed coming up for review in a couple of days . . .
