Stealthy Sorcery: Saiba Cryptomancer
Unleash your inner strategist with Saiba Cryptomancer, a Moonfolk Ninja that masters the art of deception. For just two mana, this elusive creature enters the battlefield with Flash, allowing you to surprise your opponents at the most opportune moments. With its Backup 1 ability, you can bolster any target creature, making your battlefield presence not only stealthy but also powerful. Imagine dropping this crafty ninja when your opponent least expects it, then enhancing your best creature just as they think they have the upper hand.
