Next, I hit up the expected utility creaturesthey destroy other permanents, make mana, or give me some useful protection abilities
The tax makes it good against spell-focused decks, while first strike gives it legs against opposing creature strategies

And while the last level may seem to confine it to go-wide decks, the fact it also counts artifact tokens gives it scope to show up elsewhere, too
However I can definitely see decks with Balemurk Leech, Fear of the Dark, and Fear of Infinity being very aggressive and looking for ways to reduce the opponent's life total while also protecting its own
