Shopkeeper's Bane
Oracle Text
Trample
Whenever this creature attacks, you gain 2 life.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Shopkeeper’s Bane is a straightforward but efficient aggressive body that fits best in green beatdown or midrange-tempo shells, where early pressure and incidental life gain help stabilize races. A 4/2 with trample for three mana hits hard immediately, and the attack trigger makes it especially annoying for decks trying to trade damage back one-for-one; you can swing in, push through chump blockers, and still cushion your life total by 2. That life gain is most valuable when paired with effects that reward repeated attacking or combat presence, such as pump spells, +1/+1 counter support, or token producers that force awkward blocks. In Limited, it shines as a solid curve-topper that can close games quickly against slower Strixhaven decks. In Constructed, it wants support from cards that grant evasion or protect a fragile 2 toughness, since it will usually survive by being ignored until it is already pressuring life totals.
