Deathgorge Scavenger
2G
Creature - Dinosaur
Whenever Deathgorge Scavenger enters the battlefield or attacks, you may exile target card from a graveyard. If a creature card is exiled this way, you gain 2 life. If a noncreature card is exiled this way, Deathgorge Scavenger gets +1/+1 until end of turn.
Interesting incidental graveyard hate. Triggers on both ETB and attack, unfortunately the +1/+1 isn't a counter and is only until end of turn. That may kill it for me, but this card is definitely worth looking at.
I like that it's graveyard hate, but neither of the effects it produces are worthwhile. If the ability made tokens, or gained card advantage, or did anything to support a specific archetype, I'd be very interested.
I'd have happily considered this three years ago, but outside of the rise of the 2/1 for 1, green 3-drops are the most improved slot in cubes in recent years.

Even then, I don't know, this card seems pretty medium.
I think I would've tested this if it got a +1/+1 counter. I'm assuming the card was originally designed that way, but development probably nerfed it to keep dinosaurs in check.
Against red decks it will often play like a Kitchen Finks without persist. Against decks that do not care about your life total or their graveyard, this is a vanilla 4/3 for 2G, but only offensively and only conditionally. I guess if you want to save space it is one card that hoses both reanimator and aggro, but it is not great at either role and not widely maindeckable.
