Kiora, the Rising Tide — Tidecaller of Foundations
Kiora, the Rising Tide is a compact but impactful Legendary Merfolk Noble that slots into blue control and graveyard synergies. At a cost of {2}{U} she replaces herself immediately when she enters the battlefield by letting you draw two cards then discard two cards. That immediate selection tightens your hand and fuels graveyard strategies while her modest 3/2 body can still apply pressure or chump block when needed.
Kiora shines in decks that want threshold value and token finishes. Once seven or more cards rest in your graveyard she converts attacking into a late game engine that can produce a legendary 8/8 blue Octopus token named Scion of the Deep. The Foundations foil treatment gives the art a vivid sheen that highlights her trident and swirling tentacles which is useful for collectors who want a near mint foil copy that also performs at table level. Add Kiora to any list that values card selection into graveyard payoff and start turning each attack into a potential finishing wave.
