Character Background

Scrounging Skyray feels like a skyborne scavenger from the Aetherdrift—an airy fish‑pirate that grows by plucking value out of your own discards. At {1}{U} for a 1/2 with flying it's an early evasive threat that best supports tempo and value‑oriented discard decks: the more you discard while it’s on board, the faster it converts looting into raw power. It shines in builds with repeatable discard or looting outlets (Tormenting Voice, Faithless Looting, Frantic Search‑style effects or cheap cycling enablers) and pairs naturally with +1/+1‑counter synergies or proliferate engines (Hardened Scales, Winding Constrictor, or similar counter doublers) to snowball quickly. Practical deckbuilding tip: prioritize cheap cantrips and looters you don’t mind pitching, play Skyray early and then empty your hand deliberately—discarding multiple cards in a turn can turn a modest flyer into a lethal threat—and consider a recursion package or counter support so discarded cards stay as long‑term value rather than dead draws.
