Upkeep cost or drawback
The card costs you something every upkeep: echo, cumulative upkeep, "at the beginning of your upkeep, sacrifice this unless you pay", a sacrifice each upkeep, or a card that deals damage to you or makes you lose life each upkeep. Life loss that pays for something (Phyrexian Arena, Bitterblossom, The One Ring) is not this.
