Civil Servant (Foil) (SNC)

Civil Servant
Casting Cost: {G}{W}
Card Type: Creature - Cat Citizen
Power/Toughness: 2/3
Card Text:

• Whenever Civil Servant attacks, you may tap another untapped Citizen you control. If you do, Civil Servant gets +1/+0 and gains lifelink until end of turn.
  Flavour Text:
• "Together we can build a safer, brighter New Capenna!"
  Artist: Tony Foti

Strengths:

• Synergy: Works exceptionally well in a deck with a Citizen subtheme.
• Stat Line: A 2/3 for two mana in two colors is quite solid.
• Lifegain: The potential to gain life on attack adds another layer of utility and resilience.

Weaknesses:

• Niche Requirements: The card's full potential is unlocked only in decks that can consistently produce Citizens.
• No Immediate Impact: Unlike creatures with "enter the battlefield" effects, Civil Servant requires a turn to become active, assuming no haste.

Potential Deck Placement:

• Perfect for a Selesnya (Green-White) deck focusing on Citizens.
• Could also fit into a broader token strategy that generates Citizen tokens.

Flavor and Art:

• The art and flavor text complement each other well, encapsulating the sense of community and collective effort.

Overall Impression:

• Civil Servant is a strong addition to any deck focusing on Citizens or community themes. Its lifelink potential and solid stat line make it a meaningful player on the board, especially when the conditions for its abilities are met.
