Wavecaller Strategist
Kiora, the Rising Tide arrives like a turn in tempo, offering card selection and an avenue to a decisive board presence. This Light Play Foil from Foundations presents Kiora as a Legendary Creature that rewards patient play. When Kiora enters the battlefield you draw two cards then discard two cards, which helps sculpt your hand while filling the graveyard for later synergies. The artwork shows the merfolk poised in briny light with a trident shaped by reef and tide, matching the card text that builds toward a late game payoff.
The Threshold ability is where Kiora earns her place in many blue based decks. Whenever Kiora attacks and you have seven or more cards in your graveyard you may create Scion of the Deep, a legendary eight eight blue Octopus creature token. That slow conversion from card advantage into a single enormous threat fits decks that use self mill sacrifice or delve. Add this Light Play Foil Kiora if you value a strategic commander or a versatile four mana inclusion that furthers graveyard plans. Pick her up now to test tide driven lines and to add a rare Foundations foil to your collection.
