Delta Bloodflies: Skyborne Nuisance
The Delta Bloodflies from Tarkir Dragonstorm is a compact clockwork of value in aggressive black decks. Delta Bloodflies rewards attackers who build incremental advantage; the creature's flying trait lets it evade ground blockers while its attack trigger pressures life totals when you already have a creature with a counter on it. In practical play this is a reliable one mana boost to chip damage and to threatening a late game finish when paired with pump effects or persistent counters.
Near Mint condition makes this common a clean pick for collectors and players alike. Delta Bloodflies slots into token and sacrifice synergies as well as counter-based builds where a single +1 counter or bounty marker flips the trigger into consistent damage. Keep it in your sideboard for matchups where evasion and repeated attrition matter and look for interactions that place counters quickly to maximize the card's value.
