Reach and Rally: Balthier and Fran Join the Battlefield
Balthier and Fran offer a compelling addition to any deck that leans into vehicle synergy and midrange strategies. This Legendary Creature stands out with reach, allowing it to block flying threats effectively, while its supportive aura boosts Vehicles you control by granting them +1/+1 along with vigilance and reach. This combination not only improves your board presence but also enhances your ability to control the skies and maintain offensive pressure.
What truly sets Balthier and Fran apart is their unique triggered ability that rewards aggressive play. When a Vehicle crewed by them attacks during your first combat phase, you can invest mana to trigger an additional combat phase after the current one. This opens up tactical opportunities to overwhelm opponents with multiple attack waves in a single turn. Their 4/3 stats make them sturdy enough to survive trades or blockers, while their synergy with Vehicles reflects their lore as resourceful adventurers ready to take flight.
