Sinkhole Scout of the Shifting Wastes
Sinkhole Surveyor brings a compact package of evasion and incremental value to Black aggro and tempo shells. The 1B casting cost and flying make it an efficient one drop that still trades well late game thanks to its endure trigger. When you attack with Sinkhole Surveyor you pay one life and choose to either put a +1/+1 counter on it or create a 1/1 white Spirit token, so the card doubles as a pump engine or steady chump source depending on board state.
The art shows a bird scout circling a yawning sink, which fits Tarkir lore about forgotten hollows and buried threats. In practice the card slots into decks that want evasive bodies that grow or generate blockers, and it plays cleanly with sacrifice synergies and counter themes. If you want a resilient flying threat that can snowball across turns, Sinkhole Surveyor is a pragmatic pick for both casual and competitive play.
