Gimli, the Grieving Guardian
Step into battle with Gimli, Mournful Avenger, a stalwart defender from the legendary halls of Middle-earth. With his indestructible nature, Gimli stands ready to absorb damage while ensuring your foes taste the bitterness of loss. His ability to grow stronger with every fallen ally makes him a formidable presence on the battlefield, especially when you have a strategy that utilizes creatures designed for sacrifice or attrition. Pair him with cards like Insolent Neonate or Wall of Omens to maximize his potential and create a cycle of resilience and power.
Each time another creature under your control falls, Gimli avenges their loss by gaining a +1/+1 counter, making your battlefield presence ever more intimidating. This synergy with creatures that have enter-the-battlefield effects or that can be easily sacrificed means you can quickly turn the tide in your favor. Whether you're building a Dwarf tribal deck or just looking for a powerhouse creature to bolster your ranks, Gimli is a rare gem in the Universes Beyond series that any Magic player will appreciate.
