Trygon Predator: Sky Salvager
Trygon Predator plays like a utility flyer that taxes opponents who lean on artifacts or enchantments. For three mana you get a 2 3 with flying and a triggered removal effect that only hits opposing noncreature permanents after combat. It fits neatly into tempo focused blue green shells where evasion and selective disruption create pressure without committing to full removal suites.
On the battlefield the card reads clearly and behaves predictably. Whenever Trygon Predator deals combat damage to a player you may destroy target artifact or enchantment that player controls. That line makes combat math important. Tap into evasive tricks or commander damage angles to flip the trigger. It also has a light piece of lore in the flavor text that ties it to the set by hinting at arcane metabolism and mystic fuel.
