Swarmborn Ascendant
Scion of the Swarm is a compact, resilient flyer that turns lifegain into incremental board presence. At three and two black it enters as a 3/3 with flying and a triggered ability that places a +1/+1 counter on itself whenever you gain life. That loop makes it a natural fit in lifegain shells where each drain or rally nudges the creature into a larger threat that still dodges ground blockers.
From a deckbuilding angle Scion of the Swarm rewards synergy rather than flash. Slot it into aristocrats strategies, vampire tribal lists, or control builds that can convert small life swings into a grower that keeps attacking from the air. The card reads simply but scales: early lifegain leads to a sizable flyer by midgame. Add one to your collection if you want a low maintenance threat that punishes opponents who let you stabilize. Pick it up and test it in your next brew.
