Etali's Favor — Raid the Library
Etali's Favor is a compact red Aura that earns its keep the moment it hits the battlefield. Etali's Favor enchants a creature you control and gives that creature a one point boost to both power and toughness plus trample, making attacks more threatening and trading more reliable. The real upside shows up on resolution when Etali's Favor triggers a discover three effect, letting you dig for a low cost spell to cast without paying its mana cost or to tuck away for later.
Play this on a hasty attacker or a creature that regularly connects with your opponent. The combination of a small stat bump, trample and a built in tutor effect fits well in aggressive and midrange decks that need consistent reach and occasional card advantage. In Lost Caverns of Ixalan lore Etali's trick works like a forward strike into a hidden cavern, pulling a useful play from the deck and forcing your opponent to respond to both board pressure and resource denial.
