Undercity Scavenger

Description

Undercity Scavenger arrives as card number 88 in the 2019 Ravnica Allegiance expansion for Magic: The Gathering. Designed by artist Tomasz Jedruszek, this common black creature card represents the grimy underworld of the Ravnican guilds. As a 4-mana Ogre Warrior with a 3/3 power and toughness, it fits squarely into midrange strategies that value board presence and resource management. The card’s ability offers a flexible tactical choice when it enters the battlefield. By sacrificing another creature, players can grant Undercity Scavenger two +1/+1 counters, significantly boosting its stats, and then scry two to look at the top cards of their library. This synergy between aggressive board development and card filtering makes it a versatile inclusion for decks focusing on creature swarms or sacrifice mechanics. The flavor text, attributed to Izoni, reinforces the card’s thematic identity with the line, "We grow strong by feasting on failure," highlighting the opportunistic nature of its design. Collectors and players alike appreciate the intricate world-building that defines the Ravnica block, and Undercity Scavenger is a key piece of that narrative. Its straightforward yet impactful gameplay allows it to remain relevant in various formats where efficient creature removal and value generation are essential. Whether you are building a competitive deck or simply enjoying the lore of the Multiverse, this card offers a solid mechanical foundation. The Ravnica Allegiance set continues to be a favorite among fans for its deep political intrigue and unique guild mechanics, making cards like this a staple for any serious Magic: The Gathering collection.
