Carrion Screecher
Four mana for a 3/1 flyer is a rate the game outgrew a long time ago, and the body's fragility tells you exactly where this lands: an evasive beater that any pinger, any one-toughness sweeper, any chump-then-trade math erases without ceremony. The only printed text is flying, which keeps this from being a true vanilla creature but barely: there is no ability to build around, no counter to spend, no second mode, just a clock that hits for three in the air until something kills it, which something reliably does. The Zombie Bird typing is the lone flavor wrinkle, stitching together two creature types black already has in abundance, and it does no mechanical work. This is the sort of common that exists to round out a curve in its color when a set needs filler bodies that put pressure overhead at uncommon stakes, not because the design reaches for anything past that. A creature built to make the math of a low-rarity aggressive deck add up, and nothing more.
