Firstborn Strike

Itzquinth, Firstborn of Gishath arrives with haste and a simple trigger that turns board presence into direct removal.

That interaction preserves tempo while answering a blocker or a key opposing threat.

Itzquinth, Firstborn of Gishath is not only a 2 3 body that pushes damage the turn it lands but also a catalyst for favorable trades and combat math.
