Magmablood Archaic (SOS)

Creature — Avatar

Trample, reach Converge — This creature enters with a +1/+1 counter on it for each color of mana spent to cast it. Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell, creatures you control get +1/+0 until end of turn for each color of mana spent to cast that spell.

Reliable finisher for mono-red aggro and spellslinger strategies. Magmablood Archaic punches above its weight in decks built around cheap instants and sorceries, turning every spell into a temporary pump effect while scaling into a legitimate threat. The converge mechanic rewards color-intensive mana bases in Commander, though mono-red builds will see it as a solid mid-range body with evasion. Best in fast formats where you're already casting multiple spells per turn.
