Oracle Text

Start your engines! (If you have no speed, it starts at 1. It increases once on each of your turns when an opponent loses life. Max speed is 4.)
{2}: This creature gets +1/+1 until end of turn.
Max speed — {3}, Exile this card from your graveyard: Draw a card.

Character Background

Mutant Surveyor is a tidy black common that fits best in a value-oriented tempo or midrange deck, especially one that can chip away at life totals consistently. “Start your engines!” gives it a built-in snowball plan: once you’re connecting or otherwise making opponents lose life each turn, it naturally climbs toward max speed, turning the graveyard into a second hand. On the battlefield, a 2/3 for three mana is already respectable, and the {2}: +1/+1 ability lets it profitably block early attackers or pressure life totals when the game stalls. The real payoff is the max-speed exile draw, which rewards you for surviving long enough to recycle it after removal or combat trades. It pairs well with evasive threats, ping effects, and cheap ways to trigger life loss each turn; in Limited, prioritize cards that help you keep the engine running rather than pure combat tricks.
