Gilgamesh Commands the Battlefield
Gilgamesh, Master-at-Arms offers a compelling blend of control and aggression in any red deck. As a Legendary Creature with a {4}{R}{R} casting cost, this 6/6 Human Samurai leverages the top of your library to deploy Equipment with precision. When Gilgamesh enters or attacks, you get to inspect the top six cards of your deck, selecting any Equipment cards to put onto the battlefield. This ability not only accelerates your board presence but also ensures your samurai units stay well-armed and ready to dominate combat.
Strategically, Gilgamesh rewards decks that prioritize Equipment synergy, allowing you to attach one of the newly summoned Equipment to a Samurai you control. This mechanic echoes the Master-at-Arms’s lore as a seasoned warrior who excels in wielding various arms. The card’s foil, borderless treatment from the Universes Beyond: FINAL FANTASY set makes it a visually striking centerpiece for collectors and players alike, particularly in near mint condition.
