• Casting Cost: {3}{R}
• Card Type: Legendary Creature - Human Warrior
• Power/Toughness: 2/3
• Card Text:
  • {R}, {T}, Discard a card: Create a token that's a copy of another target creature you control. It gains haste and "When this creature dies, draw a card." Sacrifice it at the beginning of the next end step. Activate only as a sorcery.
  • Blitz 1R (If you cast this spell for its blitz cost, it gains haste and "When this creature dies, draw a card." Sacrifice it at the beginning of the next end step.)

Card Summary: Jaxis, the Troublemaker is a red legendary creature with the ability to create temporary copies of other creatures you control. By paying {R}, tapping Jaxis, and discarding a card, you can create a token that is a copy of a target creature you control. This token gains haste and the ability, "When this creature dies, draw a card." However, you must sacrifice the token at the beginning of the next end step.

Additionally, Jaxis has a blitz ability, allowing you to cast it for a reduced cost of 1R. When cast with blitz, Jaxis gains haste and the "When this creature dies, draw a card" ability, similar to the tokens it creates.

Deck Considerations:

• Jaxis, the Troublemaker can be a valuable addition to decks that focus on sacrificing creatures for various benefits. By creating copies of creatures with useful abilities and sacrificing them, you can generate card advantage and potentially trigger other effects that trigger when creatures die.

• Consider including creatures with powerful abilities in your deck, as Jaxis can replicate those abilities. Creatures with enter-the-battlefield triggers, token generation, or abilities that benefit from being sacrificed can be especially effective.

• Blitz is a useful mechanic for getting Jaxis onto the battlefield quickly, allowing you to take advantage of its ability right away.

Overall Impression: Jaxis, the Troublemaker is a versatile red creature that provides card advantage and flexibility to decks that can make use of its abilities. Whether you're copying creatures with valuable effects or using its blitz ability for a fast-paced game, Jaxis can be a disruptive presence on the battlefield.
