Courtesy of Wizards of the Coast (WotC), and Channel Fireball, take a look at the newest God from Kaldheim — Esika, God of the Tree!
Following what appears to be a trend of modal double-faced Gods, Esika, God of the Tree can be cast either as a three-mana, 1/4 creature or a five-mana legendary enchantment.
Vigilance
T: Add one mana of any color.
Other legendary creatures you control have vigilance and “T: Add one mana of any color.”
In her creature form, Esika grants your other legendary creatures the ability to tap for any color of mana. Her 1/4 body is also decent for blocking in the early-game.
At the beginning of your upkeep, reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a creature or planeswalker card. Put that card onto the battlefield and the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.
Cast as The Prismatic Bridge, this legendary WUBRG enchantment can quickly take over the game, allowing you to cheat a creature or planeswalker onto the battlefield at the beginning of each of your upkeeps.
It’s also important to note that despite being part of the same card, each side has a different name, so you’re able to cast Esika and later cast The Prismatic Bridge onto the same battlefield without evoking the legend rule.
So what do you think of Esika, God of the Tree / The Prismatic Bridge? What formats will she impact the most? Let us know in the comments below!
Kaldheim is currently scheduled to release on February 5. You can check out our official Kaldheim Preview Gallery here.
