Nine Lives, Nine Chances
Nine-Lives Familiar is a compact engine for attrition decks that rewards patient lines and smart sequencing. The card enters the battlefield with eight revival counters when cast and returns itself each time it dies while a revival counter remains. As a 1 1 Cat, Familiar is not a front line attacker yet its recurring presence drains opponents of answers and forces awkward blocks. Players who work the stack and manage removal will find Familiar converts small incremental advantages into long game inevitability.
The Foundations foil shows the familiar sprawled beside bone and candlelight, a visual cue that this creature is built to come back again and again. In play the trick is simple. Keep Familiar around long enough to change combat math, bait a key removal spell, then recast or let it die to reset the clock. This copy is Near Mint foil and English, making it a clean addition for collectors and players who value a resilient, repeatable threat. Add it to decks that favor sacrifice synergies, value trading or slow grind value and watch incremental returns compound into wins.
