Fungal Frenzy on a Stick
Deathcap Marionette is a compact tool for black decks that like to trade efficiently and sculpt their graveyard. At {1}{B} it comes into play as a 1/1 with deathtouch, so it forces blocks or clears out larger attackers. The enter the battlefield mill two ability makes it a tidy fit in self mill builds and decks that value early graveyard fuel.
As a Fungus with utility rather than raw power, Deathcap Marionette is best evaluated as a piece in a longer plan. Use it to pick off an early blocker or to ensure critical cards hit your graveyard. In the Lost Caverns of Ixalan setting the marionette feels like a small but strategic asset that turns a single black pip into card advantage when your graveyard matters.
