Riku of Many Paths — Choice at Every Crossroads
Riku of Many Paths is a compact engine for flexible decision making. As a 3/3 Legendary Creature that costs {U}{G}{R}, Riku rewards casting modal spells by letting you select up to X options based on how many modes you picked for that spell. Each time you get to pick, you can dig, grow, or populate, which gives this card both tempo and late game utility without asking for a long setup.
Play this foil in decks that value repeatable versatility. The exile and play mode rigs your next turns with card advantage. The counter and trample mode helps close races or stabilize board stalls. The bird token mode multiplies incremental value and works well with token synergies. In Outlaws of Thunder Junction lore, Riku reads the lay of the land and bends the crosswinds to make every cast count.
