Overlord of the Floodpits — Tidebound Avatar
Overlord of the Floodpits is a pragmatic choice when your deck needs card advantage that also pressures the board. The card rewards timing and sequencing. Cast it for the regular cost to get an immediate 5 3 flier, or cast it for its impending cost to delay its creature status while it accrues value on arrival. In practice the enter or attack trigger reads like a compact dig engine: draw two then discard one keeps your hand flexible and fuels graveyard synergies without bloating your draw step.
From a lore perspective the Overlord fits Duskmourn's drowned corridors. It arrives as an enchantment that can become a creature, which plays well with flicker effects sacrifice themes and time counter manipulation. Use it in control shells that stall early then pivot to a flying threat, or in graveyard decks that profit from the discard. If you want consistent card flow and a dependable aerial body the Overlord of the Floodpits delivers both raw utility and a straightforward clock. Add one to your list and test how it reshapes late game sequencing.
