Cruel Bargain (POR-86) is a rare black sorcery from the Portal expansion. It lets the spell's controller draw four cards while paying a life cost equal to half their life total rounded up. The steep proportional life payment makes it a high-risk, high-reward draw option often seen in combo decks or as a desperate catch-up tool.
