Shao Jun: Silent Leap
Shao Jun is a compact but potent edge in any limited or casual cube. At a cost of {1}{U}{B} she reads as a tempo threat that pairs evasive power with punch. On your turn she becomes an aerial aggressor with both flying and first strike which buys time against ground blockers and lets you trade up in combat. The foil treatment and near mint condition make this print desirable for collectors who value presentation in addition to playability.
The Rope Dart ability gives a recurring way to pressure opponents outside combat by converting artifact presence into direct damage. That interaction rewards decks that run cheap artifacts or token generators and creates consistent incremental life loss over the course of the game. Shao Jun fits well in decks that want a resilient creature threat and a low cost source of reach damage. Add this uncommon from Universes Beyond Assassin's Creed to your list and playtest it in artifact synergy shells. Pick it up while supplies last.
