Vulture, Scheming Scavenger SPM 0158 · uncommon

Take it when

Use Villains and connive to improve draws, remove the opposing threats, then lift a developed board into the air.

What to take next

Connive away Swarm, then cast it for mayhem while the same turn’s permission remains. It adds another flying Villain for later attacks.

Wrong pick

Connive is not extra cards by itself: it draws and discards. Its value comes from selection, counters and useful discarded cards.

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.

Mob LookoutConnive can grow any creature you control while setting up mayhem. Its hybrid cost lets it support either blue or black decks.

Mechanical MobsterColorless connive supports mayhem, modifications and Villains while removing a relevant graveyard card.

Swarm, Being of BeesAn evasive Villain whose flash allows mayhem on an opponent’s turn. Leave one black mana after discarding it if you want to cast it.

One-pick Draft

An attack gives your other Villains flying. This can end a ground stall if you already have several Villains ready to attack.
