Character Background

Sunset Saboteur reads as a two‑mana street operative: a 4/1 menace that aggressively advances tempo while simultaneously taxing removal with Ward — discard a card. Its naked stats push an aggro/tempo game plan—get in for damage and force bad trades—yet the attack trigger (putting a +1/+1 counter on an opponent’s creature) is an odd liability that can be flipped into advantage. Build it into black hand‑attack shells that already pressure opponents’ hands (Thoughtseize/Inquisition, Liliana) so opponents struggle to pay Ward, and consider splashing red or blue to run theft effects (Act of Treason, Control Magic) to steal the buffed creature after you’ve grown it for them. Alternatively, use it with cards that punish oversized creatures or conditional bounce to turn their new toughness into a liability. Play it as an early tempo threat that either forces suboptimal removal or becomes a setup piece for value turns where you convert their gifted growth into your board advantage.
