Strike with Ancestral Momentum
Ancestors' Aid is a compact red instant that turns a single attacker into a credible threat and leaves you with a resource to follow up. For {1}{R} you deliver +2/+0 and first strike until end of turn while generating a Treasure token. The text is straightforward and the timing is flexible so this fits into aggressive lists or as a surprise trick that wins a combat exchange and sets up another play in the same turn.
The Lost Caverns of Ixalan art emphasizes lineage and forgotten support which matches the card effect. Use Ancestors' Aid to push through a blocker, protect a key attacker from a trade, or turn a chump into a lethal swing while funding a future spell with the Treasure. Practical, efficient, and easy to sequence in tight turns, this Light Play foil copy shows the card in playable condition with a subtle foil sheen preferred by collectors and tournament players alike.
