Scytheclaw Raptor (Borderless) (The Lost Caverns of Ixalan) Near Mint Foil

Raptor Ready to Burn

Scytheclaw Raptor is a compact and efficient threat that punishes opponents for playing off your turn. The card name alone signals tempo pressure the moment it hits the battlefield. With a 4/3 body for {2}{R} you get a creature that both blocks and clocks damage, while its trigger forces opponents to rethink casting spells during your upkeep or combat phases.

In practice Scytheclaw Raptor fits cleanly into aggressive red shells and midrange builds that want incidental burn without leaning on narrow combos. The printed trigger reads whenever a player casts a spell, if it is not their turn, Scytheclaw Raptor deals 4 damage to them, so it creates soft clock turns where opponents lose life for trying to answer you. Use it to tax prophylactic plays and to close out games once you establish board presence in the caverns of Ixalan.
