Street-Swarm Workhorse
Drudge Beetle is a straightforward inclusion for green decks that need efficient bodies with a late game plan. At {1}{G} it enters as a 2/2 creature and holds the line early while contributing to creature counts for pumps and trades. The printed Scavenge ability lets you convert its power into a resource when it is in the graveyard so the card functions as both a blocker and a part time finisher.
Play it early to stabilize the board and keep it in the graveyard to fuel larger threats. The Beetle fits Golgari themes in Ravnica Remastered where small creatures feed bigger ones. Experienced players will value the flexible timing that Scavenge provides and the predictable 2/2 body that interacts cleanly with removal and combat math.
