Exhaust — {2}{R}: Put a +1/+1 counter on this creature. It gains double strike until end of turn. (Activate each exhaust ability only once.)
Card Details
Mana CostSet
Character Background
Pacesetter Paragon is a clean aggressive threat for Magic: The Gathering’s Aetherdrift, built to reward a tempo-leaning red deck that wants to pressure early and convert spare mana into burst damage later. As a 2/3 for {2}{R}, it already blocks reasonably well, but its exhaust ability turns it into a finisher: paying {2}{R} once gives it a +1/+1 counter and double strike, pushing it from fair body to immediate combat problem. That makes it especially strong in aggro shells that can clear blockers with burn spells, then force through a huge attack step. It also plays nicely with any deck that cares about counters, because the +1/+1 counter sticks even after double strike ends. Deckbuilding tip: pair it with cheap haste enablers, combat tricks, or equipment that make its single exhaust turn lethal, and consider cards that untap or protect your attacker so the Paragon can keep racing after the boost.
