Kambal, Profiteering Mayor — Tax the Tokens
Kambal, Profiteering Mayor is a compact control tool for decks that expect token traffic. At {1}{W}{B} this Legendary Creature puts pressure on opponents by copying their tokens as they enter and converts your own swarm into steady life gain. He sits as a 2 4 on the board so he buys time while amplifying incremental advantages an experienced pilot can exploit.
Play Kambal in matchups where token engines matter. The first ability punishes opponents who flood the board by producing tapped copies of any token they create once per turn. The second ability bins small incremental life swings in your direction when you make tokens. Use him to slow aggressive token decks or to grind value in midrange and control shells. A useful piece in any Outlaws of Thunder Junction brew that values parity and resource tempo.
