Magmatic Galleon (The Lost Caverns of Ixalan) Light Play

Magmatic Galleon: Deckside Blast

Magmatic Galleon is a straightforward tool for red decks that want a reliable body and direct removal in one card. When Magmatic Galleon enters the battlefield it deals 5 damage to target creature an opponent controls which clears blockers or answers a problematic threat on resolution. Its 5 by 5 frame matters because it survives many exchange trades and presents a solid clock once on the table.

The secondary trigger rewards you for skirmishes that spill excess noncombat damage by creating Treasure tokens which help fund further development or a late game finisher. Crew 2 makes it easy to turn mana and chump creatures into offensive pressure while keeping your curve compact. Use it to stabilize early and convert removal into card advantage and ramp over the midgame.
