Legendary Creature — Human Survivor
Survival — At the beginning of your second main phase, if Rip is tapped, reveal the top X cards of your library, where X is its power. Put any number of creature and/or Vehicle cards with different powers from among them into your hand. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.
“Tap Rip to surveil creatures into hand, build a growing army of threats.”
Rip, Spawn Hunter is a creature-focused card advantage engine that rewards you for tapping him. The core idea is to attack with Rip (or tap him via other means), then use his Survival ability in your second main phase to dig through your library and tutor creature and Vehicle cards into your hand. Since Rip starts at 4 power, you're revealing four cards minimum, which can quickly fill your hand with threats. The deck wins through a combination of creature swarm and combat damage—you're constantly restocking your hand with on-brand creatures while building a growing board. This creates a self-sustaining value engine that lets you out-resource opponents over time.
Build around efficient creatures, untap effects, and ways to trigger Rip's ability repeatedly. Creatures that tap for value (like Llanowar Elves effects), instant-speed ways to tap Rip, and cards that increase his power all amplify the card advantage. Vehicles synergize perfectly since Rip specifically pulls them, and you can crew them with your creatures. The deck has a midrange shell—you're generating value every turn rather than going all-in on one explosive turn—making it forgiving and interactive.

Skip expensive Doubling Season or Smothering Tithe; use Cultivate, Kodama's Reach, and Llanowar Elves for ramp, and basic card draw like Harmonize instead of pricey draw engines.
