Bloodbraid Challenger: Cascade on the Hunt
Bloodbraid Challenger is a red green Elf Berserker built for fast tempo. It features Cascade and Haste, so you can push damage early and turn a top deck into a sequence of threats. The 4/3 body provides solid board presence and plays well in commander lists that reward aggression and multicolor synergy. The artwork and flavor align with a hunter’s mindset, emphasizing pressure and quick decisions at the table.
Escape adds resilience by letting you pay the escape cost to exile three other cards from your graveyard and cast Bloodbraid Challenger from exile. The flavor text hints at Hasal hunting in the Rip, a dangerous chase that pays off with rapid bursts of action. In practice, this card rewards careful sequencing and graveyard interaction, turning a single swing into a broader tempo plan that pressures opponents from multiple angles.
