Ranger's Hawk

Most venture cards buy dungeon progress with mana, a spell slot, or a combat trigger. This one asks for board presence instead: three mana, its own tap, and the tap of a second untapped creature, all restricted to sorcery speed. That convoke-adjacent tax defines the card. A single flyer never gets you deep into a dungeon on its own, but a wide board turns venture into a repeatable engine, grinding through the Undercity or the Lost Mine one room per turn cycle. The design leans on the logic that has always governed tap-to-activate engines: the ability is only as strong as the creatures you can afford to keep idle, which ties the reward directly to how much your deck wants to sit back rather than swing. Evasion on the body hedges against that tension. On the turns you would rather not advance the dungeon, or cannot spare the extra creature to fuel it, the Hawk simply flies in for one, so the 1/1 is rarely a dead draw even when it is not pulling engine duty. It is a modest card doing an honest job: a repeatable venture outlet for grindy decks that would rather convert a stalled board into steady dungeon value than race.
