Salvage Drone

Creature — Eldrazi DroneBlue mana

A one-drop built to die well. The whole point of the Eldrazi processor subtheme is to accumulate a store of opponent-exiled cards, and creatures with ingest are the spigot that fills that reservoir: slip through unblocked, strip the top card of an opposing library into exile, repeat until there is a pile worth processing. This is the cheapest vessel for that job, a 1/1 whose entire combat purpose is to connect and feed the reservoir. The colorless devoid frame is the tell that it belongs to the Eldrazi machine rather than to blue proper. The death clause is where it earns its slot over the ingest rank-and-file: a looting exchange (draw, then discard) that fires when the body trades or chumps, turning an expendable creature into a card-filtering event instead of a corpse. A 1/1 with ingest is going to die early and often, so the design leans into that inevitability, then hands you a reason to throw it forward anyway. Two triggers do the real deckbuilding work here, one when it connects and one when it dies; the body between them is incidental, which is exactly how a processor deck wants its enablers priced.
