Cactusfolk Sureshot
Cactusfolk Sureshot is a solid midrange threat from Outlaws of Thunder Junction that slots into green red decks seeking a dependable beatstick with combat utility. This 4/4 Plant Mercenary comes with Reach to hold the line against flyers and Ward 2 to punish free targets. Its presence changes how opponents cast removal and how you plan attacks because it both protects itself and enhances your attackers when combat starts on your turn.
The card reads like an invitation to push through damage while keeping defense intact. In practice you play it on turn four to stabilize against flying threats, then leverage its beginning of combat triggered ability to give your other large creatures trample and haste for a surprise clock. It is straightforward to pilot, but the interaction with ward and the timing of the combat trigger rewards careful sequencing and respectable board reading.
