Mox strategy
Garrison Cat — Primary strengths & best use cases: Cheap 1-drop that converts a death into a 1/1 token — trades well as a chump blocker or early attacker while guaranteeing card‑advantage on removal. Best in aggro/token builds, pauper/token decks, and any low‑curve white lists that want resilient early bodies or repeatable sacrifice fodder. Great budget filler and recurring value in Commander and Historic.
Specific synergies / combos: Excellent with sacrifice outlets (Viscera Seer, Altar of Dementia, Ashnod’s Altar) and aristocrat payoffs (Blood Artist, Zulaport Cutthroat, Cruel Celebrant). Combines well with Skullclamp (cheap token → two card draw), Anointed Procession (doubles created tokens), and Mass removal that you can exploit (sacrifice after boardwipe). Works in decks that care about creatures dying (Mayhem Devil interactions, Zulaport, Revel in Riches triggers).
Key mechanics it enables or supports: Death‑trigger token generation — effectively turns creature deaths into repeatable resources. Enables sacrifice loops, card draw via Skullclamp, and incremental life‑drain/currency for aristocrat engines. Plays the role of a disposable chump/blocker that preserves board presence and fuels value engines. Practical tip: trade it freely into bigger creatures or sac it proactively to maximize downstream synergies.
