Storm's WrathReckless Stormseeker
MEDIUM

Storm's Wrath can clear the board of smaller creatures, allowing Reckless Stormseeker to attack freely without being blocked. This creates an aggressive strategy where you can wipe the opponent's board and then hit hard with your own creatures.

Den of the BugbearSokenzan, Crucible of Defiance
MEDIUM
