Card Details
Mana CostSet
Character Background
Truss, Chief Engineer is a wonderfully odd Unfinity value engine that best supports a control or combo-leaning tempo plan, with a strong side of rules-bending utility. At 1/3 for two mana, it blocks early pressure well while naturally accumulating hack counters from its own entry and from any creature death, so Truss rewards attrition-heavy games where creatures are constantly trading off. The activated ability is the real prize: with enough counters, you can shrink or inflate key numbers on spells and permanents, which can mean neutralizing combat stats, weakening token swarms, or supercharging something you control. Deckbuilding-wise, Truss gets much better with sacrifice fodder, repeatable token makers, and effects that create lots of deaths, since every fallen creature fuels future manipulations. It also pairs neatly with cards that care about counters or copy activated abilities, letting a seemingly eccentric engineer become a precise, scalable toolbox rather than just a novelty rare.
