Item Description

A one-mana instant that pumps a creature and replaces itself does not sound like much, until you see what it unlocks. Defiant Strike gives a target creature +1/+0 until end of turn and draws you a card, so it never costs you card advantage, and the cheap cost means you can cast it alongside your main play almost every turn.

That makes it a fantastic engine piece for decks that care about casting spells or targeting their own creatures. Heroic creatures trigger off it, prowess creatures get an extra boost, and Commander decks led by Feather, the Redeemed can return it to hand at the end of each turn to cast it again and again. It is also a simple way to win a close combat or finish off a creature that was damaged earlier, with a fresh card as a bonus. First printed in Khans of Tarkir, it found new life in the Mystical Archive.

This listing offers two Strixhaven Mystical Archive printings. The first is the borderless showcase version, collector number 3, illustrated by Dominik Mayer, offered in non-foil. The second is the Japanese-language borderless version, collector number 66, illustrated by Amayagido, offered in foil-etched. The Mystical Archive was the 2021 bonus sheet in Strixhaven boosters that reprinted famous instants and sorceries in new styles, and the Japanese cards featured entirely different art from Japanese artists.
