Venerated Stormsinger — Chief of Quiet Tempests
Venerated Stormsinger is a compact midrange tool for decks that want incremental advantage and battlefield pressure. The card lets you tax opponents with every casualty while you accrue life, and its Mobilize ability supplies a steady stream of attacking bodies when you declare attackers. As a 3 3 for {3}{B} it slots into aggressive black builds that value creature interactions and board presence rather than raw removal.
The wording on the card rewards timing and attrition. Mobilize 1 will generate a tapped attacking 1 1 Warrior token when Stormsinger attacks and that token disappears at the next end step so it pairs well with effects that care about creatures attacking or dying. The second triggered ability reads whenever this creature or another creature you control dies each opponent loses 1 life and you gain 1 life which converts trades into incremental life swing and reach. Use it in decks that trade often or that flicker creatures to reuse the death trigger. Add this Near Mint, English print from Tarkir Dragonstorm to stabilize close games and keep pressure on opposing life totals.
