Burning Sun Cavalry (The Lost Caverns of Ixalan) Light Play

Ride the Sunfire

Burning Sun Cavalry is a tight inclusion for aggressive red decks that want efficient interaction with Dinosaur allies. The card reads simply and cleanly: for {1}{R} you get a 2/2 Human Knight that becomes a 3/3 for a turn whenever it attacks or blocks while you control a Dinosaur. That conditional buff makes the Cavalry punch above its weight in creature combat and keeps pressure on through combat damage and favorable trades.

In practice Burning Sun Cavalry fits into decks that build around creature synergies and tempo. It pairs naturally with dinosaurs that want to soak damage or apply board presence while the Cavalry adds consistent offense. From a lore angle the cavalry acts as the vanguard of Ixalan flame riders who coordinate with massive beasts to control the battlefield. The printed text matches the Lost Caverns of Ixalan release so you can slot this copy into play without card text surprises.
