Best {R} or {U} Non-Legendary creature to drop onto a near-empty board state if I am looking for ETB or Leaves the Battlefield triggers?

Go!!

LinkCelestrial

{Flametounge Kavu}. {Crater Hellion}. {Mulldrifter}. Off the top of my head. There's stuff like {Omen Speaker} too I guess.

Mr_Fahrenheit

Grim lavamancer. No triggers as such, but easy to do damage with it

griffin131


LinkCelestrial


Prplprince

Edh one of my favs is  {Etherium-Horn Sorcerer}

Otherwise on an empty board {Inferno Titan} three to the face and then a big problem to deal with afterwards

LinkCelestrial

{Stormtide Leviathan} is MVP. So are non-legendary eldrazi.

Prplprince had it. {Etherium Horn Sorcerer}

Cascade triggers onto cast, unfortunately. Doesn't do anything with the blade.
{Archaeomancer}, {Anarchist}, {Augur of Bolas} in spell heavy builds.
{Avalanche Riders} if you want a really empty board. {aven Fogbringer} for a kinder substitute. {goblin gardener} & {Goblin Settler} too.
{Foundry Street Denizen} for great buff.
Was {bogardan hellkite} mentioned already?

{Cloud of Faeries} to untap your lands..

{Gilded Drake} is nice if you don't have an empty board opposing you, and can {stifle} the initial etb trigger.

Remillo

{Rishadan Brigand} is always funny

Right now I'm leaning on the {Bearer of the Heavens}
It doesn't really effect the board in your favor though, it is a restart the battlefield thing but in an empty one it pretty much reads "destroy all lands"

{blade of selves} will exile the tokens. There won't be a "dies" trigger unless you can kill the copies before exile. That said, for coming back in {R} I'd go for {bogardan hellkite}.
10 damage right there, for each opponent.
(Add an haste enabler, I thought this guy had haste).

I should just move the blade to my {B}{W} and copy {Ashen Rider}
Or you van have people quit over a Major interaction headache by throwing it on the field with a {worldgorger dragon}. (Float {4}, cast dragon, cast & attach blade, swing, spent 4 hours discussing the implications, call it the day, ???, profit)
