Bloodbraid Elf — Cascade into Combat
Bloodbraid Elf is a compact, tempo-oriented threat that rewards aggressive sequencing. This Foundations Jumpstart printing keeps the original feel: a 3 2 Elf Berserker with haste that pressures life totals immediately and a cascade trigger that can net a free interaction or another threat. In practical play the card doubles as an early clock and a deck sculptor; cast it on curve to force decisions and to potentially chain into a spell that changes the board state.
Players familiar with cascade know to stack their library and play tight around sequencing. Bloodbraid Elf fits into red green shells that want to trade efficiently and pivot plans midgame. Lore wise this elf carries the abrupt violence of the plane it came from; the art captures that sudden assault. Add this Near Mint English copy to a deck that prizes tempo and explosive turns and expect immediate impact on the table.
