Krenko's Buzzcrusher — Thopter Stampede
Krenko's Buzzcrusher is a compact but disruptive inclusion for red decks that want to reshape the battlefield. This 4/4 Artifact Creature Insect Thopter arrives with flying and trample and forces an immediate land trade when it hits play. The enter the battlefield trigger lets you target one nonbasic land per player to destroy, then lets those players fetch a basic land tapped if they choose. That sequence both clears problematic utility lands and ensures mana remains stable for opponents and yourself.
Play it as a tempo piece or a land hate finisher. Against decks that rely on a single key nonbasic it functions as a precision answer. In multiplayer it scales naturally because the number of lands removed equals the number of opponents with targets worth taking. The foil near mint from Murders at Karlov Manor pairs evocative art with crisp rules text so it reads cleanly at the table and slots into red midrange or chaos builds without drama.
