Shay Cormac: Silent Huntmaster
Shay Cormac is a compact engine for targeted removal and incremental growth. This Near Mint Foil Shay Cormac from Universes Beyond Assassin's Creed arrives as a 1 1 Legendary Creature that turns interaction into a resource. Spend one mana to strip opponents of defensive keywords and then punish any creature they let you target by placing bounty counters. The design reads like a toolbox card that rewards precise sequencing and pressure.
In play Shay Cormac fits naturally in midrange and blink shells where you can reliably target threats. Each bounty counter is a promise of growth since creatures that die with bounties feed Shay with two +1 +1 counters. The printed abilities promote tempo plays and spellcraft rather than brute force, so build around removal, sacrifice synergies, and ways to make opponents unwilling to block. Add this foil card to a list that capitalizes on incremental advantage and answer density.
