Paths Unwoven: Riku at the Crossroads
Riku of Many Paths sits where modal choices shape the turn. This legendary Human Wizard arrives as a 3/3 and pays {G}{U}{R} to join your board. Its triggered ability rewards casting modal spells by letting you choose up to X where X equals the number of modes chosen for that spell, then selecting one or more effects to apply. The framed options let you dig, grow, or make evasive bodies which integrates cleanly into decks that value flexible answers and incremental advantage.
Play Riku to turn modal spells into repeatable value engines. Exiling the top card of your library gives card selection and potential tempo, the counter plus trample pushes damage through blockers, and the 1 1 flying Bird provides chump blocking or an aerial threat. In lore Riku studies junctions of possibility, aligning paths into a single practical result. For pilots familiar with modal interactions this card rewards precise sequencing and multiplies the upside of modal spells in match play.
