Zuko, Firebending Master (TLE)

Legendary Creature — Human Noble Ally

First strike Firebending X, where X is the number of experience counters you have. (Whenever this creature attacks, add X {R}. This mana lasts until end of combat.) Whenever you cast a spell during combat, you get an experience counter.

Reliable experience payoff for aggressive red decks. Zuko rewards combat-focused strategies by generating experience counters whenever you cast spells during combat, then converts those counters into explosive mana acceleration through its firebending ability. The first strike evasion helps it survive early trades while you build toward a critical mass of experience. Best in Commander decks built around combat triggers and instant-speed spells, where the mana generation can fuel lethal turns; less impactful in formats where combat windows are limited or removal is abundant.
