A flying 2/2 that forces a discard on contact is already a reasonable clock against control, but the real payoff is the threshold: strip the opponent's hand and the body swings as a 5/5 flier, which then hits to keep that hand empty. The discipline holding it together is the gating on the +3/+3. It only grows once the opponent is already hellbent, so the bonus arrives precisely when the discard ability has done its job and the opponent has the fewest tools left to interact. That sequencing punishes a stumble rather than creating one; against a stocked grip, this is a fragile 2/2 that dies to almost anything and refills nothing on its own. It rewards the deck that has already spent resources tearing the opponent down, the dedicated discard shell that wants a finisher to convert an empty hand into a fast kill. As a piece of black aggro-control, it sits in the line of evasive discard threats that turn an empty hand from a defensive milestone into an offensive one: a creature that does not merely benefit from disruption but compounds it, each connection feeding the condition that makes the next connection lethal.
