Eivor, Wolf-Kissed is a 7/6 Human Assassin Warrior with trample and haste, costing {3}{R}{G}{W}. Its ability reads: “Whenever Eivor, Wolf-Kissed deals combat damage to a player, you mill that many cards. You may put a Saga card and/or a land card from among them onto the battlefield.” This ability not only disrupts opponents’ decks but also accelerates your own game plan by putting valuable Sagas and lands directly into play.
