Raphael, the Nightwatcher

Attacking creatures you control have double strike.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Raphael, the Nightwatcher is built for an aggressive tempo plan that rewards you for keeping pressure on the board and forcing awkward combat math. His Sneak ability is especially nasty because it lets you convert an unblocked attacker into a surprise second wave, essentially recycling a creature that already got through and turning it into a fresh, tapped-and-attacking threat. Once he sticks, the real payoff is global: all your attacking creatures gaining double strike makes even small bodies lethal, and it scales brutally with combat triggers, combat-damage abilities, and any pump spell you can cast before damage. Deckbuilding-wise, he pairs well with evasive one-drops, cheap haste threats, and cards that care about combat damage connecting twice. He is best in a red-centric aggro shell that wants to stay ahead on board while punishing opponents for ever leaving an opening.
