Balustrade Spy
Oracle Text
Flying
When this creature enters, target player reveals cards from the top of their library until they reveal a land card, then puts those cards into their graveyard.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Balustrade Spy is a compact black flyer that does its best work in combo and graveyard-centric value shells rather than fair combat. A 2/3 body with flying for four mana can pressure planeswalkers or chip in, but the real draw is the enters-the-battlefield mill effect: target player reveals cards until a land appears, dumping every revealed card into the graveyard. In practice, that means it can stock your own graveyard if you target yourself, fueling reanimation, delve, threshold-style effects, or cards that care about a stocked yard. It also has niche utility against opponents whose decks are land-light or top-heavy, though in most decks it serves as a setup piece, not a finisher. Pair it with graveyard payoffs, recursion, or blink effects to repeat the ETB trigger, and consider self-mill support like Satyr Wayfinder-style cards to maximize consistency. The Vampire Rogue flavor fits neatly: evasive, sneaky, and more interested in stealing resources than winning a fair fight.
