Regal Strike
Sovereign Okinec Ahau is a practical addition for midrange and creature focused lists. With a casting cost of {2}{G}{G} and printed as a Legendary Creature Cat Noble, this 3 4 body arrives with Ward 2 which protects it from single target disruption. The triggered ability rewards board presence by distributing +1/+1 counters when it attacks, scaling with how much larger your creatures are than their base power.
In Lost Caverns of Ixalan games the card plays like a walking anthem that punishes passive boards and amplifies creatures that already overcame buffs or equipment. Sovereign Okinec Ahau works well behind evasive threats and token synergies and fits into decks that want incremental advantage over multiple turns rather than a single burst. The showcase treatment highlights the art while still keeping the rules clear for tournament play.
