Zidane, Master of Tactical Theft
Zidane, Tantalus Thief arrives as a versatile Legendary Creature ready to disrupt your opponent’s board state while providing immediate value. For {3}{U}{R}, this 3/3 Human Mutant Scout enters the battlefield with an effect that temporarily commandeers an opposing creature, granting it lifelink and haste until the end of turn and untapping it to maximize its impact. This ability can turn blockers into attackers or steal a key creature for a surprise lethal attack, adding a tactical layer to your gameplay.
Beyond his steal-and-strike skill, Zidane also punishes opponents who try to wrest control of your permanents by rewarding you with Treasure tokens. This synergy fits well in decks that leverage control-based interactions or benefit from additional mana resources. Zidane’s design reflects the cunning and opportunism of the Tantalus thief archetype, fitting seamlessly into many strategies within the Universes Beyond: FINAL FANTASY set.
