Avenger of the Fallen — Graveborn Vanguard
Avenger of the Fallen is a compact, efficient threat from the Tarkir Dragonstorm era that rewards graveyard investment and tactical attacks. The Light Play Foil shows the familiar artwork with a muted palette and subtle reflective foil, suitable for play or display. As an experienced player you will appreciate how the card's deathtouch forces unfavorable blocks while its mobilize ability scales directly with the size of your graveyard.
In practice Avenger of the Fallen is a reliable two drop that converts a stocked graveyard into immediate board presence when you attack. The printed mobilize trigger creates a swarm of tapped and attacking 1 1 red Warrior tokens equal to your creature cards in graveyard and demands planning because those tokens are sacrificed at the next end step. Use it in token synergies, sacrifice engines, or midrange decks that can refill the yard and pressure opponents while blocking with deathtouch.
