Character Background
Overlord of the Floodpits reads like a slow-burning blue finisher: an avatar horror that thematically crawls up from stagnant waters, giving you early information and a late-game flying clock. It best supports a control/value plan—cast for cheap impending to get immediate card selection and stall until it becomes a 5/3 flier, or pay full cost and drop a threatening tempo piece that nets two cards then a discard every time it enters or attacks. Build it into a UB control shell with plenty of cheap cantrips (Preordain/Ponder) and countermagic to survive the delay, and include flicker effects like Ghostly Flicker or similar exile/return tools to repeatedly reuse the “enters” trigger for incremental advantage. Be mindful that 3 toughness is fragile, so run removal and protection (protective countermagic or bounce) and consider graveyard synergies or discard outlets if you want to capitalize on the steady discard-to-graveyard interaction.
