Silent Prowl, Sudden Strike
Kutzil's Flanker is a compact threat that plays to timing and tempo. The card name signals the role before you resolve it. With a casting cost of {2}{W} and Flash, Kutzil's Flanker can punish attackers or ambush into combat at instant speed. When it enters the battlefield you choose one mode, each offering a concrete advantage that fits different board states and deck plans.
Choose to bolster the Flanker based on creatures that left the battlefield under your control this turn, or stabilize through lifegain and scry, or deny opponents by exiling a graveyard. The printed 3/1 body wants to attack and trade early, or slip in as a surprise blocker that turns value into tempo. This extended art printing brings the Lost Caverns of Ixalan aesthetic into play while remaining a practical inclusion for white aggressive or tempo builds.
