Kotis, the Fangkeeper — Vault Your Opponent's Library
Kotis, the Fangkeeper arrives as a compact, lethal engine that repurposes combat damage into a suite of free spells. This Legendary Creature from Tarkir Dragonstorm is indestructible and hits like a trickster; whenever Kotis deals combat damage to a player you exile the top X cards of their library where X equals the damage dealt. You then may cast any number of spells among those exiled with mana value X or less without paying their mana costs. The card reads like a toolbox on legs and rewards precise computation of damage and timing in combat steps.
As a Zombie Warrior with a 2 1 stat line Kotis is fragile but efficient and its foil near mint finish makes it appealing for both play and collection. In practical lists Kotis enables tempo swings, multi spell turns and graveyard denial through exile while fitting into three color shells that value incremental advantage. Add this English Near Mint Foil to a collection or deck and tune your combat math to unlock turns that can pivot a game suddenly. Consider pairing Kotis with deathtouch, double strike, or repeated combat tricks to maximize the exile value and the free-cast window.
