Streaking Oilgorger

Description

Streaking Oilgorger, card number 107 in the 2025 Magic: The Gathering Aetherdrift expansion, is a five-mana Vampire creature that brings aggressive pressure to the battlefield. Designed by Campbell White, this card features the iconic Flying and Haste abilities, allowing it to strike immediately upon entering play and bypass ground-based defenses. Its most distinctive mechanic revolves around a dynamic speed system that scales based on game events. If the player starts without speed, the creature begins at one and increases by one on each of your turns whenever an opponent loses life, capping at a maximum speed of four. At maximum speed, Streaking Oilgorger gains lifelink, turning aggressive plays into sustainable resource gain. This design makes the card a versatile tool for decks that can leverage life loss triggers effectively. Collectors and players alike appreciate the intricate mechanical depth that defines the Aetherdrift era, where speed and aggression are paramount. The card's black mana identity and Vampire subtype align it with popular tribal strategies, offering both aesthetic appeal and functional utility in various formats. Whether building a competitive deck or adding to a curated collection, Streaking Oilgorger stands out for its clever interaction between speed and life gain, embodying the innovative spirit of modern Magic: The Gathering design.
