Glidedive Duo
A four-life swing stapled to an evasive body: each opponent loses two life, you gain two, and a 3/3 flyer stays on the table to keep applying pressure. The template is one of black's oldest, the enters-the-battlefield drain, and this take asks nothing of the graveyard, no sacrifice fodder, no board state to convert. The trade is speed for reliability. At five mana this is a slow way to move four points, but the number scales with opponents in a way single-target effects do not: each opponent loses two while your gain stays fixed at two, so a wider table pays more. That asymmetry is why the card is built this way. The flying keyword matters more than the small body suggests, because it turns the four-life entry into a down payment on a clock rather than a one-shot nudge to a life total; the drain buys the tempo, and the evasion collects on it. Nothing here is subtle, and nothing needs to be. It is a drain effect built to close games in the air over several turns rather than crack them open in one, and it earns its keep by doing two jobs at once, life-swing and pressure, that black usually has to split across two cards.
