Glister Bairn
Oracle Text
Vivid — At the beginning of combat on your turn, another target creature you control gets +X/+X until end of turn, where X is the number of colors among permanents you control.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Glister Bairn feels like a tiny Ouphe emissary that amplifies whatever personality your board already has: a 1/4 defensive body that hands out a recurring combat pump tied to how many colors your permanents display. It best supports tempo and midrange/value plans — early it soaks damage and trades, later it converts board diversity into repeated surprise damage or favorable blocks. Deckbuilding tip: prioritize colored permanents (multicolored creatures, colored enchantments or planeswalkers) rather than colorless mana rocks if you want to maximize X, and keep a cheap evasive or low-cost attacker (a 1–2 drop flyer or unblockable creature) on board to target, since Glister Bairn can’t buff itself. Synergizes especially well with creatures that cash in temporary power—double-strike or trample threats, lifelinkers, or combat-trigger engines—so treat it as a defensive anchor that becomes a steady combat finisher as your color base diversifies.
