Pest Rescuer
Oracle Text
At the beginning of each upkeep, if you don't control a Pest creature token, create a 1/1 black and green Pest creature token with "When this token dies, you gain 1 life."
If you would gain life, you gain that much life plus 1 instead.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Pest Rescuer is a steady value engine that fits best in grindy midrange or token-focused value decks, especially in Commander where repeated upkeep triggers matter more. As a 2/2 for three mana, it is not about raw combat pressure; its strength is in inevitability. If you ever go without a Pest, it replaces itself with one, and that token’s death refunds life, while the Rescuer also makes every life gain effect bigger by one. That means it pairs beautifully with sacrifice outlets, aristocrats shells, and cards that repeatedly gain small amounts of life, turning modest triggers into real cushion. In practice, you want ways to keep a Pest around or intentionally cash them in for value, since the bonus life makes attrition wars go your way. In Strixhaven-flavored decks, it feels like a patient campus caretaker: less flashy than a finisher, but excellent at making your engine harder to outlast.
