Hamato Guardian Stance

Target creature gets +1/+3 and gains flying until end of turn. Scry 1. (Look at the top card of your library. You may put that card on the bottom.)

Mox strategy

Hamato Guardian Stance is a cheap combat trick that’s strongest in aggressive white decks and token strategies. +1/+3 plus flying can win combat, push through damage, or save an important creature from burn and small blockers, and scry 1 helps smooth draws. Best synergies are with evasive or lifelink creatures, first-strikers, and go-wide boards where one attacker can be turned into a surprise finisher. It also pairs well with “heroic” style triggers, prowess-like plans, and any deck that wants a low-cost trick for tempo. It mainly supports combat blowouts, protection from damage-based removal, and closing games by turning an ordinary creature into a temporary airborne threat.
