Dreadwing Scavenger FDN 0118 · uncommon

Take it when

Use surveil, looting and useful interaction to build a graveyard, then attack with threshold creatures while card selection sustains the longer game.

What to take next

Cephalid Inkmage's entry surveil and Dreadwing Scavenger's loot can reach seven graveyard cards. Check the actual count before attacking with the Inkmage or relying on Scavenger's larger body.

Wrong pick

Threshold counts cards, not card types. Dreadwing Scavenger's bonus is continuous, so graveyard removal can shrink its toughness and make damage already marked on it lethal.

Mana & splash

Keep the colored sources needed for early spells. A synergy payoff does not automatically justify a splash.

Interactions from the card text, not a ranking.

StabOne black mana gives a creature -2/-2, killing small threats or finishing a damaged larger one. The reduction also changes combat power; it is not two damage and can defeat indestructible small creatures.
