Small but Striking: Manifold Mouse
Manifold Mouse is a compact force in the Bloomburrow set that exemplifies efficient red aggression. Costing just {1}{R}, this Mouse Soldier offers more than a simple body on the battlefield. Its unique Offspring ability lets you invest an additional {2} mana to create a 1/1 token copy, effectively multiplying your threats and applying pressure early on. This mechanic works seamlessly with token synergies common in aggressive and midrange red decks.
Beyond token generation, Manifold Mouse carries a tactical edge with its ability to grant one of your Mice double strike or trample at the start of combat each turn. This flexibility can turn a modest attacker into a serious threat, capable of punching through blockers or swinging twice for lethal damage. For players who appreciate nuanced board presence and incremental advantage, Manifold Mouse is a reliable choice that fits naturally into creature-heavy strategies.
