I was inspired to make this silly design while watching a video about sharks with my brother. The Simic Combine has given us such memorable hybrids as Crocanura, Cloudfin Raptor, and Shambleshark. Now they present two of nature's fiercest predators combined into one voracious package:
Tigershark2GU
Creature - Cat Fish
Flash, reach
Whenever a creature dealt damage this turn by ~ dies, you may draw a card and you may gain life equal to that creature's toughness.
At the beginning of your end step, if ~ didn't deal damage this turn, return it to its owner's hand.
3/3
I was going to try to make this a combination of Stalking Tiger with some manner of shark creature, but I couldn't find a shark good enough that wasn't already a Simic creature, plus a combination as silly yet awesome as Tigershark deserved a splashier card.
MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
- At the beginning of your end step, if ~ didn't deal damage this turn, return it to its owner's hand.
There is a lot of complexity in the other abilities, and this is the easiest place where something could be simplified. Outside of use of cards like Prey Upon, the most likely decision for triggering or not triggering is just attacking with it.
- At the beginning of your end step, if ~ didn't attack this turn, return it to its owner's hand.
But maybe you don't need any complicated decisions.
- At the beginning of your end step, you may return ~ to its owner's hand.
- At the beginning of your end step, return ~ to its owner's hand.
... or just remove that self-bounce completely. Flash and the kill trigger is probably an interesting enough design.

There aren't a lot of cats and fishes with reach..
Art is life itself.
