Spike the Strike
Ancestors' Aid is a compact red instant that turns a single attacker into a reliable damage dealer and pays its way into the game. For {1}{R} you give a target creature +2/+0 and first strike until end of turn while also creating a Treasure token to help refuel your next play. Players who value tempo and flexible mana will find this card slots easily into aggressive decks and burn adjacent builds.
In Lost Caverns of Ixalan lore the spell reads as a quick blessing from the past that sharpens a blade and fills a pouch. Use it to push through blockers, win combat trades, or convert combat advantage into a follow up threat. The foil near mint presentation makes it suitable for play or display while keeping that practical focus you need in a match.
