Coati Scavenger

Description

As a three-mana Creature — Raccoon, this card offers a solid body with 3 power and 2 toughness, making it a resilient presence on the battlefield. The foil treatment adds a layer of visual appeal for collectors who appreciate the shimmering finish on this Uncommon rarity card. Mechanically, Coati Scavenger revolves around the Descend 4 ability. When this creature enters the battlefield, players can choose to pay {4} to transform it or let it enter with a counter. The key trigger occurs when four or more permanent cards are in your graveyard; at that point, the creature allows you to return a target permanent card from your graveyard directly to your hand. This interaction provides valuable resource recursion, turning discarded cards into immediate tactical advantages. The flavor text, "The difference between trash and treasure is a matter of perspective," perfectly captures the card's theme of scavenging value from the graveyard. Designed by Alessandra Pisano, the card features a monochromatic green mana cost and identity, fitting seamlessly into green-based decks. Its design emphasizes utility over raw power, appealing to builders who prioritize card advantage and graveyard synergy. The Uncommon rarity ensures it is accessible for daily play while remaining a collectible item for those tracking the full set. Whether you are drafting, constructing, or simply collecting foil variants, Coati Scavenger stands out as a cleverly designed creature that rewards strategic graveyard management.
