Description
Grave Hunger
Starving Revenant is a compact threat that turns digging into a resource. When Starving Revenant enters the battlefield you surveil 2, then for each card you put back on top of your library you draw a card and lose 3 life. That sequence rewards careful ordering and graveyard setup, making it a solid midgame play in decks that want both card flow and a growing yard.
The card pairs well with self mill and permanent-focused graveyard strategies. Descend 8 gives ongoing value by punishing opponents and restoring you when your graveyard reaches eight permanent cards. Starving Revenant reads cleanly and interacts with common mechanics in The Lost Caverns of Ixalan era, so pilots who manage life totals and sequencing will find consistent payoff without gimmicks.
