Swarm the Caverns
Bat Colony is a compact engine for token value and incremental growth that fits into black aggro and sacrifice shells alike. When Bat Colony enters the battlefield you create one 1/1 black Bat creature token with flying for each mana from a Cave spent to cast it, so casting it off a Cave payoff turns a single card into a flier suite. The foil Near Mint finish makes this copy collectible and play ready whether it flies out of your board or stays tucked in a commander binder.
Use Bat Colony to pressure life totals while building a board that benefits from sacrifice outlets and anthem effects. The secondary trigger that puts a +1/+1 counter on a creature whenever a Cave enters the battlefield under your control rewards land synergies and repeated value plays. It is practical in decks that plan to play many Caves and want a steady stream of evasive chump blockers that scale into real threats.
