Character Background
Leatherhead, Swamp Stalker fits best into a midrange or tempo game plan, where a sturdy attacker can pressure life totals while quietly generating removal. A 5/4 with trample for four mana already asks real questions in combat, and the hexproof counter on entry helps her survive the first wave of spot removal or targeted interaction. Her real prize, though, is the repeatable artifact-and-enchantment destruction tied to combat damage, which makes her especially strong against value engines, protective auras, and board-lock pieces. Because you need to remove a counter to trigger that effect, deckbuilding should lean into ways to add counters back, such as proliferate, +1/+1 counter support, or any card that can place extra counters on your creatures. In practice, Leatherhead rewards players who keep her attacking turn after turn, turning swampy brute force into precise, board-clearing pressure.
