Tectonic Fiend⁣ - Time Spiral⁣ (Uncommon)⁣ [181]

Tectonic Fiend is a hefty 7/7 creature that you can summon for {4}{R}{R}. However, it comes with a catch: it has an echo cost of {4}{R}{R}, meaning that at the start of your upkeep, if you had this creature since your last upkeep, you must either pay that echo cost or sacrifice it. Additionally, Tectonic Fiend must attack each turn if it’s able, which can be a double-edged sword; while it pressures your opponent, it also makes you susceptible to retaliation if they have blockers or removal spells. You’d want to play Tectonic Fiend in aggressive red decks that can either afford the echo cost each turn or have ways to get rid of it after it swings. Just be cautious of its upkeep cost and the fact that its mandatory attacking can expose you to counterattacks.
