Eshki Dragonclaw — Steady Hand, Savage Strike
Eshki Dragonclaw is a compact legend that rewards disciplined sequencing. This Near Mint foil borderless print from Tarkir Dragonstorm brings Vigilance and trample with a protective ward cost, letting Eshki hold the line and push damage while demanding careful interaction from opponents. As a Human Warrior with a four four frame, Eshki fits into midrange and tempo shells that can reliably cast both creature and noncreature spells in the same turn.
On the battlefield Eshki excels at incremental advantage. If you cast both a creature spell and a noncreature spell before combat on your turn you draw and bolster Eshki with two plus one plus one counters, turning defensive posture into a growing threat. The card reads cleanly for competitive play and its borderless foil treatment makes it appealing for collectors who play their copies. Add this to a deck that can sequence spells and you gain a durable, evolving threat that punishes passive lines.
