Strike Fast with Lightning, Security Sergeant
Lightning, Security Sergeant brings a unique blend of aggression and card advantage to any red deck in the Universes Beyond: FINAL FANTASY expansion. As a legendary Human Soldier, she combines Menace with a powerful ability that lets you exile the top card of your library whenever she deals combat damage to a player. This isn't just an exile effect—Lightning lets you cast that card for as long as she remains on the battlefield, rewarding aggressive play and board presence with long-term resource gain.
Her stats reflect a solid tempo piece at two red and one generic mana, with a 2/3 body that can survive early skirmishes while pressuring your opponent. Lightning’s design encourages thoughtful attack timing, leveraging Menace to safely push damage and unlock the potential of your deck’s top cards. She fits well in decks that can protect her to maximize the spell-casting leverage, blending well into aggressive or tempo strategies that seek to maintain board dominance and card flow simultaneously.
