Elspeth, Storm Slayer — Wings of Reckoning
Elspeth, Storm Slayer is a planeswalker that rewards a token-heavy approach while offering direct removal and a midrange anthem. The Tarkir printing keeps her straightforward; the static token doubling and the +1 that creates 1/1 white Soldier creature tokens let you scale an army quickly, while the 0 ability turns those bodies into evasive threats before your next turn. In Near Mint Foil condition this Mythic is a solid inclusion for any White token or midrange shell and sits well in Commander or sideboard plans that need repeatable threat generation and a reliable removal window.
From a lore perspective Elspeth feels practical and resolute; she reinforces board presence and then converts it into tempo with flying beats or targeted removal. Use the -3 to answer key creatures with mana value three or greater and keep the loyalty steady with token production. If you build around token synergies or anthem effects the card stretches its value; the foil finish also makes it a collectible playset pick. Add this Tarkir: Dragonstorm Near Mint Foil to your deck or binder and close games with an army that simply will not stop coming.
