Scythecat Cub — Jungle Striker
Scythecat Cub is a compact attacker that scales with your land drops. Castable for only one and a green, this 2/2 Cat grants trample and rewards incremental board development. The creature fits naturally into aggressive midrange decks that want efficient bodies and incremental growth each time you hit another land.
Its Landfall ability places +1/+1 counters on a target creature you control whenever a land enters. If the ability resolves a second time that turn the number of counters is doubled, a built in escalation that lets small creatures become credible threats by the late game. Practical and straightforward, Scythecat Cub excels in decks that play multiple lands per turn or that trigger landfall repeatedly.
