Summon Heroes or Stun Foes with Aerith’s Rescue
Aerith Rescue Mission from the Universes Beyond: FINAL FANTASY set offers versatile utility that fits multiple strategic profiles. At a mana cost of {3}{W}, this Sorcery lets you choose between summoning three 1/1 colorless Hero creature tokens or tapping up to three target creatures and placing stun counters on one of them. The choice hinges on whether you need board presence or tempo disruption, making it a flexible inclusion for white-based decks looking to balance offense and defense.
The card’s design captures Aerith’s narrative essence—rescuing allies and hindering enemies—translated into Magic’s gameplay framework. Creating multiple small creatures serves to crowd the battlefield and pressure opponents, while the stun mechanic can disable key threats temporarily. This duality invites tactical decisions based on game state, rewarding players who anticipate their opponent’s moves. Aerith Rescue Mission is a practical pick for matches where adaptive responses are essential.
