Mistcaller Tactician

Rydia, Summoner of Mist blends strategic depth with the thematic essence of the Universes Beyond: FINAL FANTASY set. As a legendary Human Shaman, she excels in Landfall interactions, enabling tactical card cycling that rewards careful land deployment. Her ability to discard then draw aligns well with decks that leverage hand filtering or graveyard recursion, providing steady card advantage without compromising tempo.

Beyond her Landfall synergy, Rydia introduces a unique Summon mechanic, allowing you to return Saga cards with a finality counter from your graveyard to the battlefield. This grants them haste, enabling a surprise impact on the board at instant speed but limited to sorcery timing. Her 1/2 body invites a defensive role early on, but her abilities pivot the game toward resource efficiency and storytelling through Sagas.
