Mox strategy
Aboshan's Desire is a cheap Aura that’s mainly useful as an evasive/combat trick. It gives any creature flying for one mana, which is solid for pushing damage, enabling favorable blocks, or turning a big ground creature into a finisher.
Its best upside is threshold: once you have seven cards in your graveyard, the enchanted creature gains shroud, making the creature much harder to remove with targeted spells or abilities. That makes it strongest in self-mill, discard, fetch-heavy, or graveyard-focused decks that reach threshold quickly.
Good synergies include:
- Creatures with strong combat stats or combat damage triggers
- Threshold/graveyard decks that want low-cost enablers
- Creatures you’re happy to protect from targeted removal after threshold
- Effects that benefit from evasion, like equipment or “damage to player” triggers
Key gameplay role:
- Early: cheap evasion for pressure or board stalls
- Late: pseudo-protection once threshold is online
- Best in limited, casual, and graveyard-centric constructed shells; generally too narrow for most formats unless the deck specifically wants threshold and cheap Auras
