OMG I want this to be real so bad I can't even think of how to disprove it. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be real, other than a Knight this is the BW legend I've been dreaming of.
So I assume thats a proper name and comma, followed by "eternal pilgrim"? Being legendary and all. Means we'd have no real way to figure out the name unless its consistent with some lore character we already know about. Seems to only leave room for 2 or 3 letters.
Anyway, its certainly got some hoops to jump through. The second ability isn't winmoar when its efficiently costed and put on a low drop even if it has an 'already-ahead' condition, that just means it will be very niche and rarely used at all. More likely, its just a 2/3 deathtouch for 2 with a recycling ability. It would be a huge deal if she could sac herself in response to removal, but on a board and wanting someone else to be targeted first, it means its pretty much just anti-boardwipe tech. And that puts her in a pretty decent spot I guess. But having to leave open ~2-3 or more mana and just getting a splash of life in return, maybe only 6-7 if you're playing a weenie or token deck, barely even worth it.
Its good to see they've learned their lessons from cards like ravenous baloth, I think its easy to mistake this as wildly pushed for a 2-drop when its really just borderline pushed above the curve. Seems pretty stuck into a niche aggro tempo deck
Very nice, a living Miren, the Moaning Well effect for only one colorless mana, and a relevant exiling ability as well, that turns any creature into a pseudo Archon of Justice that hits non land permanents, she will make a fine EDH general. Sac loops for days!!!.....
Talk about being made for Commander. A better Disciple of Griselbrand with an activated ability that can remove any non-land? Karlov and her might as well get married and have tons of token babies to sacrifice.
If this is only 2 mana then it is a shoe in for my bw modern deadguy ale. Can sac Bob when need be, can sac abyssal persecuter when my opponent is at 0, gives me a two drop that can fight opposing goyfs, gives me a cheap main deck anti burn card, and I can see the second ability being used against some durdling opponent like tron to pretty good effect.
I'm pretty sure this is Newlamog's disciple Ayli (those last two letters look like "li") of Eldrazi Monument and Hand of Emrakul fame. She was in the UR The Believers' Pilgrimage where she tried to "sacrifice" Jace to the eldrazi so the flavor checks out. Wicked card that plays oh so well with Teysa or her Granddaddy in Edh.

Is this the BW legend we've been waiting to see? I know I have.

Interesting that they gave it Deathtouch!

It's very much a black thing, too. This isn't the first thing recently that has BW deathtouch. See Mardu Hateblade.

Set number also is high enough that it's likely early in the alphabet
