Lost Legion

The double-black cost is the tell: this is a card for a dedicated black deck, not a splash, and the payoff for that commitment is a defensively-statted 2/3 body that holds the ground while its entry smooths your next two draws. The profile (a durable three-drop plus a one-time card-selection trigger) is the workhorse shape black commons have leaned on for years, trading raw card advantage for quality control. The scry fires exactly once, when the creature enters, so there is no engine to assemble around it and no reason to loop it through a sacrifice outlet; the value is front-loaded into a single reasonable body. What a black curve gets from it is consistency without a card-slot tax: you already wanted an early blocker, and the scry becomes the tuning knob that digs for the next land or the next threat when you flood or stall. The Spirit Knight typing offers two tribal hooks to hang on, though neither is doing real work here. This is a design built to make a deck run smoother rather than to headline it, and it does that job cleanly.
