Still trying to make up my mind about which animals I want to mashup in blue black. Giant Scorpion feels like a keeper to me... but do I want Kingfisher (to my left)(Edit: No it's not anymore. But you can imagine what it would look like), Skywinder Drake:

­{u}{b}
Creature - Drake Scorpion
Deathtouch
~ can block only creatures with flying.
1/3

or Whiptongue Frog...

­{1}{u}{b}
Creature - Frog Scorpion
Deathtouch
­{u}: ~ gains flying until end of turn.
1/3

On top of that, I'm not really sure how to follow this up. I guess the other good black creature choice is Ravenous Rats. I suppose Rats+Kingfisher makes too much sense to ignore...

The Rats/Kingfisher thingy is too obvious to ignore. I went with the Drake/Scorpion. It may not be enjoyed by players as much, but I like what it does to the limited meta-game, threatening to prey on players who rely on flying too much. Plus the name... I didn't even have to do anything. It tells you which two cards created this card.
