Nightblade Brigade — Silent Strike
Nightblade Brigade is a compact value engine for aggressive black decks. This 1/3 Goblin Soldier carries deathtouch and Mobilize 1, so it trades favorably on defense and generates an attacking 1/1 red Warrior token whenever it swings. The printed surveil 1 on entry gives you a chance to sculpt your draws or fuel graveyard synergies while the Brigade itself holds the line.
Play it on curve for incremental advantage. The token from Mobilize doubles your attack lanes without committing long term since the Warrior is sacrificed at the next end step. Use the surveil trigger to find removal, a threat, or a discard target. From limited pools to low to the ground aggro builds, Nightblade Brigade slots into decks that want efficient trades, value on attack, and subtle graveyard setup. Add it to your rotation and see how often a single creature reshapes combat math.
