Kiora, the Rising Tide — Command the Current
Kiora, the Rising Tide brings controlled card filtering and a late game payoff that fits neatly into graveyard strategies. When Kiora enters the battlefield you draw two cards and then discard two cards, a clean way to sculpt your hand and set up synergies. As a 3/2 Legendary Creature — Merfolk Noble for {2}{U} she fits early drops while leaving room to build toward Threshold.
The Threshold ability reads as an attack trigger tied to your graveyard depth. Whenever Kiora attacks, if there are seven or more cards in your graveyard you may create Scion of the Deep, a legendary 8/8 blue Octopus creature token. That token is a reliable win condition once your deck and play pattern fill the yard. Practical, efficient, and flavorful, this borderless Foundations printing pairs Kiora’s sea lore with gameplay that rewards deliberate sequencing. Add her to a deck that values card selection and graveyard payoffs and start shaping the tide.
