Unleash the Kobold’s Fiery Pack Tactics
The Minion of the Mighty embodies the cunning and fiery spirit of the kobold tribe from the Forgotten Realms, turning a modest 0/1 menace into a tactical threat that rewards aggressive play. Its menace ability ensures it cannot be blocked except by two or more creatures, making it a persistent annoyance on the battlefield. But the real power lies in its pack tactics mechanic: if you lead your charge with creatures totaling six or more power, this little kobold lets you crash the gates with a Dragon straight from your hand. This sneaky synergy enables explosive turns where the battlefield quickly floods with imposing Dragon creatures, complementing aggressive decks that thrive on swarming the opponent.
Minion of the Mighty pairs well with other low-cost, high-impact creatures that can help you reach the required power threshold early, such as Cragcrown Pathway or Draconic Disciple, while setting the stage to summon Dragons like Dragonkin Berserker or Shivan Dragon. Its foil Light Play condition adds a collectible sheen without compromising playability, making this card a perfect addition for players keen on blending strategy and style in their Adventures in the Forgotten Realms decks.
