Tendril of the Mycotyrant (The Lost Caverns of Ixalan) Light Play

Tendril Tactics

Tendril of the Mycotyrant is a compact green one drop that gives you a low cost avenue into late game board development. The 2 2 Fungus Wizard trades early tempo for a unique payoff. For a typical ramp or land centric build this card converts that investment into a sudden threat by spending mana to seed a land with seven +1 +1 counters and turn it into a 0 0 Fungus creature with haste while leaving the land function intact.

Play Tendril of the Mycotyrant to create unusually resilient threats that still produce mana. The ability reads the same on the printed card and scales well in longer matches where you can afford five mana plus two black. Expect this card to pair with sacrifice synergies and ways to distribute counters or grant indestructible. It fits into Lost Caverns of Ixalan decks that use lands as engines and rewards attentive timing more than raw power.
