Brineborn Cutthroat — Tidewise Opportunist
Brineborn Cutthroat brings reliable tempo to blue decks that prize interaction. A one drop plus an island in casting cost means it slides into early play and its flash ability turns it into a deceptively flexible threat. Cast it on an opponent's turn to block a surprise attack or to capitalize on a counterspell window; each time you cast a spell while the opponent has priority it grows, turning incremental plays into an expanding menace that trades up for value.
This Light Play copy from Foundations carries the kind of wear compatible with active play and tournament use. The merfolk pirate lines up with typical pirate synergies while rewarding spellcasting on the reactive turn. Use it in tempo builds or spell-heavy control shells to convert reactive plays into board presence. Add it to your deck when you need a low cost, high upside creature that snowballs under pressure.
