Flying
Ascend (If you control ten or more permanents, you get the city's blessing for the rest of the game.)
At the beginning of your upkeep, if you have the city's blessing, reveal the top card of your library and put it into your hand. Each opponent loses X life and you gain X life, where X is that card's mana value.
Mox strategy
Twilight Prophet is a strong value engine for midrange and lifegain decks. Once you have the city’s blessing, it draws a card every upkeep and drains each opponent based on that card’s mana value, which can swing races and stabilize your life total.
Best in slower black decks that can reliably reach ten permanents, especially token, aristocrat, and sacrifice builds. It’s also excellent in Commander as a repeatable source of card advantage and life drain.
Key synergies: token makers help you turn on Ascend quickly; sacrifice fodder and cheap permanents make the blessing easy to maintain; topdeck manipulation like scry or shuffle effects can help set up higher mana value reveals; lifegain payoffs and drain effects pair well with the life swing.
Main mechanics supported: Ascend, upkeep-triggered card advantage, life drain, and flying as a defensive evasive body.
