Sting and Steal: Servant of the Stinger Servant of the Stinger is a compact, tactical one drop that rewards aggressive play and clever timing. As a 1/3 Human Warlock with deathtouch, it trades up in combat and creates pressure on blockers. The real upside arrives when it connects with an opponent; if you have committed a crime this turn you may sacrifice it to tutor any card from your library into hand. That tradeoff turns a single strike into card advantage and sets up follow up plays or answers.
In games shaped by Outlaws of Thunder Junction lore, this card fits into grindy black strategies that eke value from risky plays. Use it to force unfavorable blocks, dig for combo pieces, or secure a late game answer. It rewards sequencing and reads of your opponent where a timely crime can turn a nuisance blocker into a one card tutor. Practical, efficient, and roster friendly, it slots into both aggressive and midrange black lists.
