Amphin Mutineer — Turn Graveyard Value into Board Pressure
Amphin Mutineer is a practical inclusion for blue midrange and token focused decks. It arrives as a 3 3 body for four that temporarily removes an opposing non Salamander threat while leaving your opponent with a 4 3 blue Salamander Warrior token. That exchange is rarely one for one in your opponent s favor because the token lacks the original creature s abilities most of the time and you traded a card for tempo on entry.
The Encore ability gives the card a second chapter from the graveyard. Casting the encore creates attacker token copies that must attack a designated opponent this turn and gain haste. Use the sequence to reset combat math or force through damage against a specific table presence. From a commander perspective this card is useful both as targeted disruption and as a repeatable source of attack pressure when your graveyard can be a secondary resource.
