At the beginning of your end step, if a creature died under your control this turn, draw a card.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Essenceknit Scholar fits best in a grindy value or midrange sacrifice shell, where every token and death becomes part of a larger resource engine. For three mana, it brings immediate board presence with a 1/1 Pest, then rewards you again at end step if any creature you controlled died, turning trades and sacrifice outlets into card advantage. The 3/1 body makes it a credible attacker but fragile enough to benefit from disposable creatures, so it shines when paired with cards that sacrifice on demand or replace themselves. In practice, this is excellent with token makers, cheap creatures, and outlets that let you cash in the Pest or other bodies before end step to reliably trigger the draw. The life gain from the Pest also helps stabilize against aggressive decks, making the Scholar a subtle bridge between defense and momentum. Its black-green blend evokes a scholar who studies decay as a source of renewal.
