Legendary Creature — Symbiote Soldier Hero
Flash Menace Whenever another nontoken creature you control dies, you draw a card and lose 1 life.
“Death-triggered draw engine that fuels sacrifice strategies.”
Agent Venom is a recursive card advantage engine that rewards you for playing creatures and watching them die. Every nontoken creature that hits the bin triggers a card draw, turning your sacrifice outlets and chump blockers into a steady stream of resources. The flash gives you flexibility to hold up mana and react, while the menace body makes it a respectable clock that's hard to block efficiently.
Your gameplan is to build a Golgari-style aristocrats deck around creature death triggers. Pack the deck with expendable creatures—tokens, low-impact bodies, and creatures with good death triggers. Combine these with sacrifice outlets like Viscera Seer or Ashnod's Altar to trigger Agent Venom repeatedly while advancing your board. The card draw fuels bigger plays and more sacrifice fodder, creating a value engine that slowly builds toward a winning position through commander damage, tokens, or aristocrat payoffs like Blood Artist.

Replace pricey tutors like Vampiric Tutor with cheaper draw like Sign in Blood or Deadly Dispute; use Viscera Seer over Blood Moon effects for consistent sac outlets.
