Elspeth, Storm Slayer — Calm Before the Onslaught
Elspeth, Storm Slayer arrives ready to reshape midgame boards. This near mint borderless planeswalker from Tarkir Dragonstorm rewards token strategies through a built in doubling effect while offering steady loyalty gain with a reliable +1 that spits out 1 1 white Soldier tokens. The card sits at five starting loyalty which makes her resilient, and the 0 ability turns a wide army into an evasive force by putting a plus one plus one counter on each creature you control and granting them flying until your next turn.
Veteran players will value the -3 removal clause that targets an opponent creature with mana value three or greater, a precise way to clean up key threats without overcommitting resources. The printed replacement effect that doubles tokens changes sequencing and combat math, so pilots of token centric white decks can convert incremental advantage into game ending pressure. This English Mythic borderless copy is near mint and tailor made for competitive Commander or Standard adjacent builds that need a reliable anthem and targeted removal in one card. Add Elspeth to your collection and start turning tokens into tempo.
