Captain Howler: Tidal Menace
Captain Howler, Sea Scourge rewards proactive discard lines and aggressive combat math. This Legendary Creature Shark Pirate is a solid 5/4 that pressures boards while protecting itself with ward that forces you to pay two life when it is targeted. The printed ward cost encourages decks that can trade life for tempo and turns routine discards into reliable buffs for your attackers.
Whenever you discard one or more cards, target creature gets plus two plus zero until end of turn for each card discarded that way and if that creature deals combat damage to a player that turn you draw a card. That sequence builds loop opportunities with looting effects, madness engines or self mill, converting card advantage into damage and card draw. Practical on a curve, Captain Howler pairs with red and blue spells that manipulate the graveyard and force favorable trades at the table. Add this near mint English copy to decks from Aetherdrift that want efficient discard synergy and repeatable card draw.
