Swift Riposte
Fencing Ace is a compact tempo piece that does exactly what it promises. At {1}{W} this 1/1 Human Soldier comes into play ready to trade up thanks to double strike, turning a single attack into two opportunities to remove a blocker or finish off a wounded opponent. Its low mana investment and immediate combat impact make it a reliable inclusion in aggressive white lists and set builds focused on early board pressure.
The card’s art and flavor suggest a duelist who thrives in crowded taverns and crowded games alike, a small narrative nudge that fits nicely in Foundations Jumpstart’s practical play patterns. Use Fencing Ace to punch through life totals, force unfavorable blocks, or redirect tempo for a bigger finisher; it reads cleanly on the stack and performs predictably in tight combat math. Add it when you need efficient damage and a consistent early threat.
