Mantis of the Oil Fields
Meet the Lattice-Blade Mantis, a formidable creature that embodies the relentless nature of Phyrexia. This 4/3 Phyrexian Insect enters the battlefield with two oil counters, ready to unleash its full potential. With each attack, you have the option to remove an oil counter, granting the Mantis a powerful +1/+1 boost until the end of turn. Imagine the strategic opportunities—timing your attacks to maximize its damage output can turn the tide of battle in your favor.
Synergizing beautifully with cards that interact with oil counters, such as Necrogen Communion or Venomous Brutalizer, the Lattice-Blade Mantis can quickly become a key player in your deck. The lore behind this creature echoes the chilling truth of Phyrexia: survival often means evolving to become more deadly. Don't underestimate the threat it poses as it slithers through the battlefield, ready to strike when you least expect it.
