Avatar of Sudden Retribution
Stalking Vengeance is a straightforward threat that rewards aggressive board presence. The card reads Haste and whenever another creature you control dies it deals damage equal to its power to target player or planeswalker. Cast for {5}{R}{R}, this 5/5 Avatar arrives ready to close a game or punish overcommitted opponents the turn it hits the table. In draft and limited environments it accelerates clock pressure. In constructed shells it finds a role in token lists and sacrifice synergies where repeated trigger value turns small losses into incremental damage.
From a Ravnica angle the art and name fit the guildless violence that erupts in the city streets. The effect is tactical rather than flashy so build around creatures that trade favorably or sacrifice outlets that keep the damage flowing. Stalking Vengeance scales with your board and converts dying creatures into reach against planeswalkers or finishing points against life totals. It is reliable removal adjacency converted into direct damage and a solid fit when you need a finite source of repeatable reach.
