Fangkeeper at the Fringe
Kotis, the Fangkeeper is a compact engine of disruption and value that rewards combat success with raw card advantage. As a Legendary Creature with indestructible and a low mana cost of {1}{B}{G}{U}, Kotis survives most removal and forces opponents to face a costly library tax whenever it connects. The exile-trigger scales with damage dealt so each tick of combat pressure can strip an opponent of answers while building a toolbox you can cast for free.
Play Kotis when you want a resilient threat that converts damage into resource denial and tempo plays. The exile ability lets you loot an opponent’s deck and cast spells with mana value equal to or less than the exiled amounts without paying their costs. That interaction fits well in midrange shells that can protect a narrow body and exploit short windows to cast threats or answers pulled from an opponent’s library. Add Kotis to lists that value repeated combat steps and incremental advantage. Pick up this Near Mint English copy from the Tarkir Dragonstorm print and slot it into Commander or cube for consistent upside.
