Vanille, Cheerful l'Cie arrives with a mana cost of three generic mana and one green mana, making her a manageable inclusion in green-based decks. Her power and toughness are rated at 3 and 2, respectively, but her true value lies in her abilities. When she enters the battlefield, she mills two cards from your library, then allows you to return a permanent card from your graveyard to your hand. This effect provides immediate card advantage and resource recovery, essential for maintaining momentum in long games.

This action triggers a meld effect, combining the two creatures into Ragnarok, Divine Deliverance.
