Tenderize
Oracle Text
Target creature you control deals damage equal to its power to target creature an opponent controls.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Tenderize is a clean green removal trick that rewards boards, not tricks, and it fits best in aggressive or midrange tempo decks that already want to keep creatures on the battlefield. At two mana, it turns your best attacker into a fighting-style answer without forcing a full fight, so a large creature can punch through a smaller blocker or trade up into a bigger threat at instant speed. In a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set, the name feels perfectly on-theme: a hard-hitting hero “softens up” an enemy with raw force rather than finesse. The best deckbuilding advice is to pair it with evasive or naturally oversized creatures, plus any effects that boost power at instant speed; even a modest pump spell can turn this into premium removal. It also plays well with first-strike or trample-adjacent pressure, helping you preserve tempo while removing whatever stands in the way.
