Malamet Veteran
Oracle Text
Trample
Descend 4 — Whenever this creature attacks, if there are four or more permanent cards in your graveyard, put a +1/+1 counter on target creature.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Malamet Veteran is a straightforward but effective common that fits best in a midrange or value-oriented green deck, especially one built to exploit the graveyard. A 5/4 trampler for five mana already pressures blockers well, and in The Lost Caverns of Ixalan, the Descend 4 trigger rewards you for naturally filling the graveyard with lands, self-mill, sacrificed permanents, or traded-off creatures. Because the +1/+1 counter goes on any target creature, it can turn combat math in your favor by growing an attacker after combat is declared, or it can quietly upgrade a key evasive threat for future turns. Deckbuilding-wise, pair it with cards that mill or sacrifice permanents—fetch lands, disposable tokens, or self-mill effects all help online the trigger reliably. It plays best as a sturdy board presence that converts graveyard resource management into incremental tempo and combat advantage, rather than as a pure finisher.
