Third Wave Commander
Anim Pakal, Thousandth Moon is a compact but interactive legendary creature that rewards attacking and board development. Castable for {1}{R}{W}, this 1 2 Human Soldier scales as you push through attackers. Whenever you attack with one or more non Gnome creatures you place a +1/+1 counter on Anim Pakal and then create X tapped attacking 1 1 colorless Gnome artifact creature tokens where X equals the number of +1/+1 counters on Anim Pakal. The loop is simple to read and delivers steady incremental advantage over multiple combat steps.
Play this foil if you value incremental token generation that ties directly to your combat plan and creature base. In draft and midrange builds it turns each successful attack into board presence while still leaving room for removal bait and combat math. The card fits well into aggressive and value oriented red white strategies in Lost Caverns of Ixalan decks that want predictable token output and a growing threat on the table.
