Boot Nipper is a 2/1 creature that lets you choose between entering the battlefield with a deathtouch counter or a lifelink counter. This flexibility allows it to either trade effectively in combat or help you gain life, making it useful in aggressive black decks or lifegain strategies. However, its low toughness means it can be easily removed, so timing its deployment is key.
