First strike
Sacrifice an artifact: This creature gets +2/+0 until end of turn.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Rust Monster is a classic aggressive red creature that fits best in a tempo or sacrifice-focused aggro deck, where early pressure matters more than long-term board presence. A 2/1 with first strike for three mana already trades up against many blockers, and the artifact-sacrifice ability turns spare Treasures, Clues, Food, or disposable equipment into surprise burst damage, letting it push through combat or finish off an opponent out of nowhere. In an Adventures in the Forgotten Realms setting, the name evokes the lurking dungeon predator that strips metal from unwary adventurers, and that same appetite for artifacts is captured neatly in gameplay. The best deckbuilding tip is to pair it with cheap artifact generation, especially Treasure makers, so its pump ability is repeatable without costing real resources. It also works well with cards that grant evasion, because first strike plus extra power can make blocking miserable for the opponent.
