Vault Plunderer: Slip the Draw, Steal the Life
Vault Plunderer is a compact, reliable option for a disruption package in mono black or rakdos builds. For {2}{B} you get a 3/1 Human Rogue that taxes an opponent immediately when it arrives. The enter the battlefield trigger forces a target player to draw a card and lose 1 life, which fits neatly into strategies that want to accelerate life swing, enable sacrifice lines, or punish opponents who rely on a single large draw step.
Played from the early turns through the midgame, Vault Plunderer serves as a pressure piece and a setup tool. Its stats make it a quick attacker and a reasonable chump blocker against smaller creatures. In lore terms this rogue knows where the vaults creak and which coin purses whisper, trading a scrap of life for information and tempo. Use it where card advantage and tempo intersect.
