Tributary Instructor (Commander: The Lost Caverns of Ixalan) Near Mint

Guide of the Riverward

Tributary Instructor is a solid midgame engine for green decks that prize incremental growth and card advantage. The body offers a reliable 4/4 that pressures opponents while Mentor funnels counters to your attackers. Each combat presents a choice; push damage now or reinforce a key attacker and build future value.

The second ability turns those counters into card draw when creatures die, which meshes cleanly with sacrifice themes and combat tricks. Play this when you want consistent value out of combats and an avenue to replace creatures lost to removal. As a Merfolk Shaman from the Lost Caverns of Ixalan, it fits tribal and token shells and rewards careful timing on attacks and trades.
