Storm-Born Trickster
Tersa Lightshatter is a compact, sharp engine for red decks that profit from fast card flow and a stocked graveyard. This near mint foil from Tarkir Dragonstorm shows Tersa framed by crackling purple lightning, standing on shattered basalt as volts spider outward. The foil catch accentuates the arc lines and the card border, making it an eye catching commander or companion on display and in play. Practically, Tersa gives you immediate card selection with an enter the battlefield discard and draw loop paired with haste to make the timing matter.
In play Tersa Lightshatter functions as a late game reclaimer and an early tempo piece. You discard up to two, then draw, converting excess cards into options and fueling graveyard synergies. When attacking and your yard is full, she randomly exiles a card from your graveyard and lets you cast it that turn. That interaction rewards careful deck construction where the value density tolerates randomness while offering surprising upside. Add this near mint foil to a graveyard focused red build or a casual commander list to sharpen both card advantage and board pressure. Pick her up and start reshaping the stack.
