Domri Rade
A clean statement of what the Gruul colors are supposed to want: more creatures, and a way to make them hit something. The plus ability is card advantage gated on deck composition rather than the board: it digs at the top of your library and finds nothing if that card is a land or a burn spell, so it rewards the creature-dense deck over the controlling one. The minus is fight repackaged as removal, but tied to a creature you already control, which means it doubles as a combat trade you initiate on your terms instead of waiting for blocks. That second dependency is the whole design tension: a Domri with no creatures in play cannot use its minus at all and is left ticking up toward an emblem most games will end before it reaches. The ultimate, when it lands, is less a finisher than a concession-forcer, handing your whole team double strike, trample, hexproof, and haste at once. What lets the card hold up across formats is that it asks for nothing exotic: just enough creatures to keep both halves of the loyalty live, which is exactly the configuration aggressive green-red was already running. It is the rare planeswalker built not to enable an archetype but to reward one that already existed.
