Coati Scavenger: Graveyard Forager
The Coati Scavenger is a compact value engine for midrange green decks. For {2}{G} you get a 3/2 body that rewards a graveyard heavy plan. The card’s Descend 4 trigger reads like insurance for your toolbox. If you hit the threshold of four permanent cards in your graveyard, Coati Scavenger lets you pick a permanent and return it to your hand which can refill your board or recover a crucial piece after a sweep.
In practice the Coati Scavenger finds a home in decks that manipulate self mill and sacrifice effects. Play it early to pressure opponents while you set up the graveyard or drop it later as a targeted recursion tool. The Lost Caverns of Ixalan flavor fits: the coati treats trash as treasure and turns the muck into tempo and choices rather than raw power.
