Sabotender's Sharp Sting
Sabotender from the Universes Beyond: FINAL FANTASY set offers a practical and efficient way to pressure opponents early. This red creature carries Reach, which is an unusual but useful defensive trait for aggressive decks, allowing it to block flyers while contributing to your tempo. Its {1}{R} mana cost keeps it accessible during the early turns, ensuring you can stake a board presence without slowing your curve.
The Landfall mechanic on Sabotender provides incremental damage to each opponent whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control. This steady chip damage complements aggressive strategies that seek to whittle down life totals while maintaining board control. Being a Plant creature, Sabotender fits well in decks that leverage synergy with the Plant or Landfall themes, making it a flexible pick for a variety of builds.
