Krenko's Buzzcrusher Bats In
Krenko's Buzzcrusher is a compact threat that demands attention the turn it arrives. A four four artifact creature with flying and trample, it pressures planeswalkers and blockers while threatening to reshape opponents' mana bases. The enter the battlefield trigger lets you remove up to one nonbasic land from each player then replaces those lands with basic lands tapped, a sequence that rewards timing and reads well in red aggressive builds or land disruption shells.
Play it when the board state favors you and sequencing is clear. Use the trigger to break opponent mana lines without setting them back permanently and to nudge your own draws toward basics. In multiplayer games the effect scales cleanly; in one versus one it gives you an efficient tempo swing and a threatening flier to close the gap. Familiarity with metagame land choices will make this card more than a creature with keywords.
