Riverguard's Reflexes
Oracle Text
Target creature gets +2/+2 and gains first strike until end of turn. Untap it.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Riverguard's Reflexes is a cheap, flexible combat trick that best supports aggressive and tempo white strategies: for one white and a colorless it turns a marginal attacker into a profitable trade (or a blocker into a roadblock) by granting +2/+2, first strike and an untap to reuse the creature that turn. Use it proactively to convert chump blocks into lethal kills or reactively to save a valuable creature from being traded away; it shines at turning low-cost bodies into late-turn surprises. Synergy-wise, pair it with creatures that have useful tap-activated abilities or on-damage triggers so you can pay for an ability in your main, untap and still attack, or trigger damage effects earlier with first strike. In deckbuilding, treat it as a 2–3-of in white weenie/tempo lists and a one- or two-of in midrange as a cheap interaction; it’s also a clean sideboard answer against decks reliant on winning simultaneous exchanges. The Lorwyn-tinted name suggests nimble guardianship—precise, inexpensive, and timing-dependent.
