Sudden Breakthrough⁣ - Strixhaven: School of Mages⁣ (Common)⁣ [116]

When you cast Sudden Breakthrough, you choose a creature to receive a temporary boost of +2 power and first strike until the end of the turn. This means your creature can deal damage before any creatures without first strike get to hit back, potentially allowing it to take out an opponent's creature in combat. Additionally, you create a Treasure token, which can be sacrificed to generate one mana of any colour, adding some flexibility to your mana resources for future turns. This card is especially useful in aggressive strategies where you want to push through damage or eliminate blockers, but its impact is limited to a single turn, so timing is crucial to maximise its effectiveness.
