Ancestor's Spark
Ancestors' Aid is a tight, efficient Instant that anchors aggressive lines in red. For {1}{R} you push a creature into combat with +2/+0 and first strike until end of turn while generating a Treasure token to replenish your curve. The timing window and immediate stat gain make Ancestors' Aid a reliable combat trick that converts a single burn mana into tempo and resource advantage.
In Lost Caverns of Ixalan play you will use Ancestors' Aid both as a surprise blocker and as a closing strike. The card fits into burn, aggro, and equipment decks where short term power and mana smoothing matter. The art shows ritual guidance from a culture that remembers how to turn a scrap advantage into a decisive swing which matches the card role on the table.
