Family Ties on the Battlefield
Family Reunion from The Lost Caverns of Ixalan is a compact white instant that gives you a clear tactical choice in combat. Cast it on an opponent turn to push through damage with a temporary +1/+1 across your board or to deny removal and targeted tricks by granting hexproof until end of turn. The card is straightforward to sequence and rewards timing and board reading more than raw resources.
As an experienced player will note, Family Reunion shines in wide creature strategies and in decks that plan around combat math. The option to protect multiple bodies at once can flip a trade or preserve key attackers. The card sits nicely in limited archetypes and as a one mana efficient answer in constructed sideboards when small incremental swings matter. The foil medium play example shown here retains the printed wording and is ready for play or table use.
