Cleaver Riot

Description

Cleaver Riot is an uncommon red sorcery from the Magic 2013 expansion, identified by card number 125 in the M13 set. Released in 2012, this Magic: The Gathering trading card features a mana cost of four generic mana and one red mana, resulting in a mana value of five. As a single-red card, it fits seamlessly into decks built around the red color identity. The card’s effect allows creatures you control to gain double strike until the end of the turn. This means those creatures deal combat damage twice in the combat phase—once during the first-strike damage step and again during the regular damage step. This mechanic can be crucial for breaking through blockers or finishing off an opponent who has stabilized their board. The flavor text, "Measure once, cut twice," adds a thematic touch to the card's aggressive nature. For collectors of Magic 2013, the foil finish of Cleaver Riot offers a distinct visual alternative to the non-foil version. The artwork for this card was created by Dave Kendall, whose illustrations are a staple of the set. While the card itself is a sorcery, its impact on gameplay makes it a memorable part of the M13 experience.
