Character Background
Ace, Fearless Rebel is a Nitro-9 sparkplug of a Human Rebel—part insurgent bravado, part mechanical gamble—turning each attack into a chance to convert sacrifice into board pressure. In practice, your best results come from maximizing artifacts you can afford to trade off: cheap rocks, expendable tokens, and “enters/leaves” artifact creatures let you trigger Ace consistently while keeping your mana stable. When Ace attacks, sacrificing an artifact grows him with a +1/+1 counter and then forces a fight against one defending creature, letting you trade up, remove key blockers, and keep tempo on your side; this is primarily a value-tempo plan that snowballs. Because Ace only “fights” after the sacrifice, don’t flood your deck with only irreplaceable artifacts—prioritize redundancy, recursion, and artifact self-sacrifice synergies. If Doctor’s companion is available in your format, pairing commanders can push a grindy midgame where your Doctor engine supplies bodies or artifact value, letting Ace attack fearlessly while opponents run out of clean answers.
