Ruin-Lurker Bat (The Lost Caverns of Ixalan) Near Mint

Cavern Scout with a Bite

Ruin-Lurker Bat is a compact white one drop that pulls double duty as an evasive lifegain engine. The 1 mana cost makes it easy to curve into early plays where flying matters and the lifelink keeps small skirmishes from bleeding you dry. In draft and limited environments it trades up often by stabilizing life while still applying aerial pressure.

The bat’s end step trigger rewards aggressive recursion lines and graveyard synergies with a reliable scry. If you descended that turn you get to set up the next draw, which pairs cleanly with self mill or sacrifice themes that put permanents into the graveyard. Ruin-Lurker Bat slots into tempo builds and creature decks that want incremental advantage without slowing their board development.
