Character Background
Catharsis wears two faces: cast for red to act as a cheap evoke-style tempo burst that gives your board +1/+1 and haste, or pay into the white side at full cost to leave behind a 3/4 body plus two 1/1 green‑white Kithkin if you spent double white — that flexibility supports both an aggressive/tempo game plan (evoke for instant reach) and a midrange/value plan (keep it as a stout threat that seeds a token engine). Deckbuilding-wise, prioritize a flexible Boros shell with green splash or dual/hybrid fixing so you can reliably pay either WW or RR; pairing it with token doublers like Anointed Procession or anthem effects turns the Kithkin into real clockwork, while flicker effects let you reuse the enter-the-battlefield trigger and sacrifice outlets or graveyard payoffs capitalize on the evoke route. Play Catharsis as a two-way four-drop: sacrifice it for surprise damage and tempo, or curve it out to grow board presence and long-term value.
