Champion of the Path
Oracle Text
As an additional cost to cast this spell, behold an Elemental and exile it. (Exile an Elemental you control or an Elemental card from your hand.)
Whenever another Elemental you control enters, it deals damage equal to its power to each opponent.
When this creature leaves the battlefield, return the exiled card to its owner's hand.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Champion of the Path looks like a classic Lorwyn-style red Elemental leader: a 7-power Sorcerer that turns every future Elemental into a burn spell while also “banking” one in exile for later. The best home is a proactive value-tempo deck, especially one built to curve cheap Elementals into repeated board pressure and incidental damage to the whole table in multiplayer. Because the trigger cares about another Elemental entering, cards that make multiple bodies or recur Elementals are especially strong; token makers, blink effects, and bounce-recast lines all turn into reach. The exile cost also matters strategically, since you can stash a key Elemental from hand if you do not need it yet, then recover it when Champion dies. In practice, this rewards sequencing: land Champion, keep chaining Elementals, and force opponents to answer a large attacker that doubles as a damage engine.
