Sludge Strider⁣ - Conflux⁣ (Uncommon)⁣ [126]

Sludge Strider is an artifact creature that can dish out some incremental life loss and gain whenever another artifact enters or leaves the battlefield under your control. When that happens, you can pay {1} to have a target player lose 1 life while you gain 1 life yourself. This ability can be particularly useful in decks that generate or sacrifice multiple artifacts, allowing you to chip away at your opponent’s life total while sustaining your own. However, it does require a bit of mana investment each time you want to activate the ability, so you’ll need to balance your resources carefully to maximise its effectiveness.
