Bone Devourer: Feast-Driven Dragon
Bone Devourer gives you a different angle on midrange sacrifice decks. The 3 and a black to cast hides a tight power curve while flash and flying let this 2 by 2 slip into combat or surprise an opponent on their end step. The creature enters with a number of +1/+1 counters equal to creatures that died this turn, so it scales with your board trades and sacrifice outlets; that interaction turns incidental casualties into a growing threat and a valuable draw engine.
When Bone Devourer dies you draw X cards and lose X life where X is the number of +1/+1 counters on it, which converts those counters into card advantage at a real cost. That tradeoff rewards precise sequencing and life management. If you pilot a graveyard synergetic deck or a commander built around sacrifice triggers Bone Devourer functions as both a finisher and a card accrual tool. This listing is Light Play and ships in English from the Commander Tarkir Dragonstorm print run.
