Jackal, Genius Geneticist

Rare · Legendary Creature — Human Scientist Villain

Pick rating

3.5WeakRank 170 of 188

A good playable, but is sometimes cut (3.5/10).

Why. A 1/1 trampler: whenever you cast a creature spell with mana value equal to its power, you copy it (the copy is not legendary) and Jackal gets a +1/+1 counter. It starts with a mana value 1 spell, then 2, 3...

Risks. It needs a very precise creature curve. The 1/1 dies to almost anything, and without the right mana values it does nothing.

In the draft. A build-around for a green-blue deck with creatures at every mana value. Otherwise do not play it.
