Skulking Sky Scavenger
The Blacksnag Buzzard from Outlaws of Thunder Junction is a compact flying threat that rewards timing and board awareness. At {2}{B} it enters as a 2/1 with Flying and can arrive bolstered if a creature has died this turn, turning a traded blocker into immediate value. Its presence pressures life totals while remaining low cost and easy to deploy in aggressive or midrange black shells.
Plot gives this Buzzard an extra angle of play. You can set it aside from hand for a later turn and cast it without paying mana, creating surprise tempo swings or backfilling a board after a clear. For players who value efficient creatures and marginal advantages, Blacksnag Buzzard blends straightforward combat statistics with a tactical import rooted in the set lore of scavengers and frontier opportunists.
