Ainok Artillerist — Precision from the Ramparts
Ainok Artillerist is a compact, utility creature that rewards incremental growth. The card name appears on a solid green card with a coastal siege scene and a dog archer tending a large ballista. In play this 4/1 provides early board presence and, with even a single +1/+1 counter, gains reach which turns it into a reliable blocker against flyers and a steady source of damage through midgame trades.
From a tactical perspective Ainok Artillerist fits in decks that want to convert small buffs into immediate defensive value. It pairs well with effects that distribute counters, proliferate, or grant temporary boosts; those interactions flip it from a fragile attacker into a surprise aerial answer. For players building Foundations Jumpstart pools, this card is straightforward to pilot and pulls its weight in both limited and casual constructed shells. Pick it up for dependable utility and clean synergy with counter themes.
