Jodah's Avenger⁣ - Planar Chaos⁣ (Uncommon)⁣ [42]

Jodah's Avenger is a shapeshifting creature that can adapt to different combat situations thanks to its unique ability. When you activate its ability for {0}, you can choose one of four effects: double strike allows it to deal damage both during the attack and again during the damage step; protection from red makes it immune to red spells and creatures; vigilance means it can attack without tapping, allowing you to keep it available for blocking; and shadow lets it only interact with other creatures that have shadow, which can create tricky situations for your opponent. You'd want to play Jodah's Avenger when you need a versatile creature that can fit into various strategies, whether you want to apply aggressive pressure or defend against threats. However, its ability to weaken itself (-1/-1 until end of turn) is a downside, as it risks becoming less effective if you're not choosing double strike or if your opponent has creatures that can easily overpower it.
