Casting Cost: {2}{B}
Card Type: Artifact Creature - Wall
Power/Toughness: 1/4
Card Text:
Defender
Whenever you attack with one or more Goblins and/or Orcs, create a 2/1 colorless Construct artifact creature token with flying named Ballistic Boulder that's tapped and attacking. Sacrifice that token at end of combat.
Artist: Alexander Forssberg

Card Strengths and Weaknesses:

• Defensive Value: With a 1/4 stat line and Defender, this card serves as a strong defensive option.

• Token Generation: Generates a 2/1 flier when you attack with Goblins or Orcs, adding an additional layer of aggression and possibly pushing through for some evasive damage.

• Token Sacrifice: The token is sacrificed at end of combat, which could synergize well in decks that benefit from creatures dying or being sacrificed.

• Limited Synergy: This card works best in a deck featuring Goblins and/or Orcs, which may limit its applicability.

Deck Utility:

• Tribal Decks: Excellent in Goblin or Orc tribal decks where its token-generating ability can be maximized.

• Sacrifice Mechanic: Could work well in a deck with sacrifice synergies, using the tokens generated as fodder.

• Defensive Roles: Could find a place in control decks that want a strong defensive creature that can also add some offensive capabilities.

Overall Analysis:

Mordor Trebuchet is a solid role-player in decks that can make the most of its tribal synergies. The ability to create a flying attacker can help close out games or get in for additional chip damage. Its 1/4 body with Defender makes it a solid option for stalling the board against aggressive strategies. It can serve multiple roles, making it a flexible choice depending on your deck's strategy.
