Character Background

Combat Tutorial is a deceptively efficient two-mana sorcery that combines raw card advantage with a minor board upgrade: draw two cards and put a +1/+1 counter on one creature you control. That mix makes it most at home in value- and tempo-oriented blue lists — it smooths your draws like a control spell but also nudges a creature into profitable trades or blockers, so it can anchor spell-heavy tempo builds as well. Remember it’s a sorcery, so you can’t use the pump mid-combat; cast it on your main phase to set up attacks or shore up defenses. Deckbuilding tip: include low-cost creatures that meaningfully improve with a single counter (evasive 1-drops, evolve creatures, or ones that trigger on gaining counters) and consider pairing Combat Tutorial with proliferate engines or blink/ETB synergies to multiply the benefit. While you can target any player to draw, it’s usually best used on yourself unless you’re enabling a specific opponent-facing combo.
