Etched Slith
Oracle Text
Menace
Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, put a +1/+1 counter on it. When you do, you may remove a counter from another target permanent or opponent.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Etched Slith wears its Phyrexian pedigree on its chassis: a cheap {1}{B} menace that punishes opponents for letting it slip by and keeps snowballing as it connects. On the battlefield it excels in tempo/aggro builds that want a recurring threat — its grow-on-hit ability turns early chump-blocking into long-term pressure — but it also yields value in midrange shells that want to repeatedly whittle planeswalkers and artifacts. A useful interaction is with Hardened Scales (or any counter-doubling effect): each successful hit accelerates growth and gives you more opportunities to remove counters from problematic permanents, notably loyalty counters on opposing planeswalkers. Deckbuilding tips: prioritize cheap evasion and repeat damage (pump, menace support, evasion creatures) and protect it with spot removal or recursion; it's especially strong as a one-drop that turns every point of life lost by your opponent into toolable disruption. Play it aggressively but keep angle-of-attack targets in mind — it’s both a clock and a targeted utility piece.
