Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer, the perfect Monkey for your Pirate or Red aggro deck!
Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer, was released in June 2021. This creature makes your Pirate or Red deck so much stronger and more powerful due to its abilities and unique mechanics.
Unique abilities:
Whenever Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer deals combat damage to a player, create a Treasure token and exile the top card of that player’s library. Until end of turn, you may cast that card.
Dash {1}{R} (You may cast this spell for its dash cost. If you do, it gains haste, and it’s returned from the battlefield to its owner’s hand at the beginning of the next end step.)
Ragavan's abilities make it a versatile card in aggressive Pirate or red deck. Its dash ability allows it to quickly enter the battlefield and potentially deal damage to opponents even if it gets removed, thanks to its return-to-hand clause. The ability to create a Treasure token upon dealing combat damage provides mana ramp, helping to cast larger spells or activate abilities sooner.
Because of its efficiency and value generation, Ragavan became a staple in various formats, including Commander, Modern and Legacy, often finding a home in aggressive and tempo-oriented strategies. Its ability to generate mana, apply pressure, and dodge removal made it a highly sought-after card for both competitive and casual players alike.
