Survivor of Korlis

Description

Survivor of Korlis is a white one-mana creature from the 2022 Magic: The Gathering set The Brothers' War. As Card 28 in the release, this common Human Soldier provides essential early-game presence for decks focused on white mana. Its low mana cost allows players to deploy a unit immediately, establishing board control without sacrificing resources in the opening turns. The card features two distinct abilities that make it valuable for strategic play. It possesses first strike, allowing it to deal damage before opposing creatures can retaliate during combat. Additionally, it offers a graveyard interaction option: by paying one generic mana and one white mana, the player can exile it from their own graveyard to scry two. This mechanic helps filter the top cards of the library, improving draw consistency and setting up future plays. In the context of The Brothers' War, Survivor of Korlis represents the grounded, tactical nature of the human factions involved in the conflict. The flavor text hints at the merchant state of Korlis initially staying out of the war between Yotia and the Fallaji until Mishra's dragon engines forced their hand. This narrative depth appeals to collectors who appreciate the lore woven into Magic: The Gathering cards. Its straightforward design and functional text make it a staple for both casual and competitive formats where early aggression and card selection are key. Whether you are a seasoned collector or new to the game, adding this card to your inventory supports diverse deck-building strategies.
