Character Background
How to Start a Riot is a cleanly aggressive Lesson that fits best in tempo and aggro decks, especially any red strategy that wants to turn a small board into an immediate combat problem. The first mode gives a key attacker menace, forcing awkward blocks, while the second mode acts like a compact team pump for a target player’s creatures, often letting a go-wide board push through a surprise burst of damage. In practical play, it shines when you already have multiple creatures on board, because +2/+0 across the team can convert safe attacks into lethal math very quickly. It also pairs well with evasive or expendable creatures, since menace plus a damage boost makes blocking miserable for the opponent. In a Lesson shell, it is a solid sideboard or tutor target for decks that want flexible finishers without spending a full card on a dedicated anthem effect.
