Value Creature

A creature that does two jobs: it deals with an opponent's card when it arrives, then stays as a real attacker. Its ability destroys, damages, or something, and it has 3 or more or an ability like that makes it hard to block. Answering your opponent and pressuring them with the same card is what a deck is built on. Shriekmaw, Meteor Golem

A tag is one thing a card does, on its own, in a vacuum. Tags are the building blocks archetypes are made of.

It is the most common way to get combat damage past a ground army.Serra AngelOpen the full glossary
