Nighthawk Scavenger

Vampire Nighthawk was one of the tidiest bodies black ever printed: a 2/3 flyer stapling deathtouch and lifelink together, a creature that traded up in the air, drained two points per swing, and turned attacks into it into a losing proposition. This is that card reworked so its power reads the game rather than sitting fixed. The three keywords carry over untouched, and the toughness holds at 3 so it still bricks aggressive starts and shrugs off small pings. The change lives entirely in the power line, which counts the card types sitting in your opponents' graveyards. Early it is a 1-power blocker that stalls the board while lifelinking for a trickle. Once creatures, instants, sorceries, and the odd artifact or enchantment have accumulated across the table, it swings for real and gains that much back. The elegant part is the fuel source: it is your opponents' own attrition that feeds it. Each new card type that lands in their graveyards hands the Scavenger another point, so it taxes graveyard-heavy strategies without any dedicated hate stapled on. Where the original was a rate you slotted and forgot, this version asks you to track the game state and know exactly how large it has quietly grown before you commit it to the red zone. The floor is a functional roadblock; the ceiling is a lifelink finisher your opponent built for you.
