Thriving Skyclaw is a compact red flyer that fits into aggressive red decks. With a mana cost of {2}{R}{R}, this Near Mint Foil creature comes in at 3/2 and quickly scales via +1/+1 counters. On entering the battlefield it earns three +1/+1 counters on Thriving Skyclaw, becoming a 6/5 threat that applies pressure early. Flying keeps it airborne and difficult to block, making it a reliable tempo piece in Modern Horizons 3 environments.
On attack, you may pay {R}{R}{R}. If you do, you put a +1/+1 counter on it. The option creates a simple but scalable clock, letting you invest extra red mana to keep the pressure climbing as the game evolves.
