Character Background

Buzzard-Wasp Colony is a gritty value engine best suited to midrange/“aristocrat” strategies that lean on sacrifice and incremental advantage: a 2/2 flying body for {3}{B} that can turn a looted artifact or expendable creature into immediate card advantage and then soak up counters from your fallen allies to grow and snowball. Practically, build it into a +1/+1-counter shell—cards that distribute or proliferate counters and creatures that accumulate counters make each death a step toward a larger evasive threat—while pairing with reliable sacrifice outlets (token producers or repeatable sac enablers) so you can cash an expendable piece for a draw when it enters. Avoid creatures that die with negative counters (persist-style effects), since Buzzard-Wasp will indiscriminately take whatever counters a corpse bears. In limited or constructed midrange decks it functions as both tempo (a flying attacker) and long-term value, turning attrition and small sacrifices into card draw and a resilient finisher.
