Nine-Lives Familiar — Sticky Cat Utility
Nine-Lives Familiar is a compact repeatable blocker and value engine that rewards careful timing. The card reads exactly as printed: Nine-Lives Familiar enters with eight revival counters on it if you cast it and when it dies with a revival counter on it it returns at the beginning of the next end step with one fewer revival counter. That structure makes it a steady source of incremental advantage in mid range and sacrifice synergies while still playing cleanly in a tight two drop slot at {1}{B}{B}.
Play it as early pressure or as a recurring resource in a deck that wants creature deaths, sacrifice triggers, or last gasp interactions. Its 1 1 body is serviceable for chump blocking and for trading into larger creatures over multiple lives. If you build around revival counters or cards that care about death and return this Familiar becomes a predictable engine. Add one to your collection and test how many lives it can squeeze out before it finally stops keeping score. Buy now to secure this Foundations borderless rare in Light Play condition.
