Graveyard Leave Payoff

Permanents that pay you every time cards leave your graveyard, the engine behind Desecrated Tomb loops and every deck that recurs, escapes, or exiles its own graveyard for value. Desecrated Tomb makes a Bat, Grim Reaper's Scythe and Tormod, the Desecrator make Zombies, Syr Konrad, the Grim deals damage to each opponent, Spirit Mascot and Thran Vigil grow, Kheru Goldkeeper makes Treasure, and Murktide Regent grows on each instant or sorcery card that leaves. Pairs with Recursion, Reanimation, and Recurring Creature, the cards that move the graveyard; this tag is the payoff for the movement. Distinct from Mill Payoff, which rewards cards ENTERING an opponent's graveyard, and from Graveyard Hate, which exiles graveyards to stop the loop rather than to profit from it.
