Hooded Blightfang — Venomous Control
Hooded Blightfang rewards decks built around deathtouch synergy and incremental advantage. Cast for {2}{B}, this 1/4 Snake brings deathtouch to the battlefield and turns each deathtouch attack into a tax on opponents: when a creature you control with deathtouch attacks, each opponent loses one life and you gain one life. That steady life swing stabilizes long games while pressuring opposing players to answer your threats or bleed out slowly.
Beyond life loss, Hooded Blightfang punishes planeswalkers directly. Whenever a creature you control with deathtouch deals damage to a planeswalker, destroy that planeswalker. This interacts cleanly with sacrifice outlets, combat tricks, and equipment to convert incidental damage into permanent board advantage. Practical for attrition builds and commander tables alike, Hooded Blightfang slots into token lists, aristocrat shells, or any deck that wants efficient removal that scales into the late game.
