Simian Spirit Guide
Oracle Text
Exile this card from your hand: Add {R}.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Simian Spirit Guide is one of Magic’s cleanest bursts of ritual-like tempo, a card that turns a seemingly ordinary Ape Spirit into a flash of momentum. Exiling it from your hand for {R} lets you accelerate a key play by a full turn, which makes it especially strong in combo and aggressive decks that care about explosive starts. In combo shells, it can help bridge awkward mana gaps for critical enablers or protection spells, while in aggro it can power out an early threat or removal spell before the opponent stabilizes. It is also notable that the card costs real mana to cast if you ever need a 2/2 body, though most decks will treat that as a backup plan rather than the main purpose. Deckbuilding-wise, it pairs well with strategies that want to “cheat” on mana for a decisive turn, especially builds that stack multiple free or near-free sources to maximize turn-one or turn-two pressure.
