Card Details
Mana CostSet
Character Background
Alania's Pathmaker reads like a compact tempo-value piece: as an Otter Wizard who 'opens' the top of your deck, it presents a 4/2 body for {3}{R} that pushes damage while simultaneously granting an immediate bonus — exile the top card and you may play it until the end of your next turn. That duality makes it best for tempo or midrange value builds: attack with a sizable 4-power threat and keep a surprise answer or extra resource available across two turns. Build around top-deck manipulation (Opt, Serum Visions, scry effects) so the exiled card is more often useful, and consider blink/flicker effects to reuse the enter-the-battlefield trigger for more exiles. It is fragile to removal (2 toughness), so pairing with haste enablers or ways to protect it (combat tricks, artifact auras) increases payoff. Thematically, the otter wizard’s pathfinding evokes curiosity and opportunity— a small creature that opens a brief window to whatever lies next in your deck.
