Card Details
Mana CostSet
Character Background
Walking Ballista is one of those rare artifacts that turns mana into inevitability, fitting neatly into control, midrange, and especially combo shells that can exploit repeated counters. In Fallout, its stripped-down construct feel reads like a weaponized machine: a frame that arrives empty, then scales as resources are fed into it until every counter becomes ammunition. On the battlefield, it can pick off small creatures, finish planeswalkers, or close games by converting extra mana into direct damage, making it excellent as a flexible mana sink. The best deckbuilding tip is to pair it with counter multiplication or +1/+1 counter support, such as effects that double counters or generate large bursts of mana, since that turns a modest Ballista into a lethal threat very quickly. It also plays well in combos that can repeatedly add or remove counters, letting it function as both removal and a win condition.
