Etali's Favor (The Lost Caverns of Ixalan) Medium Play Foil

Favor of the Raider

Etali's Favor is a compact red Aura that turns a creature into a value engine. The card enchants a creature you control and grants it +1/+1 and trample, making combat exchanges cleaner and more threatening. The Medium Play Foil print gives the card subtle shine while keeping it perfectly playable in casual and competitive lists that want low variance payoff from a two mana investment.

Its triggered discover ability reads when Etali's Favor enters the battlefield discover 3. That effect lets you exile cards from the top of your library until you find a nonland with mana value 3 or less then cast it without paying its mana cost or put it into your hand. In practice this reward pairs well with aggressive boards and sac targets because the aura both buffs and opens up a tempo window to deploy a free spell. For deckbuilders the card is straightforward to slot into red creature decks that value incremental advantage and surprise plays.
