Mardu’s Stormborn Savior
Straight out of Tarkir: Dragonstorm, Neriv, Heart of the Storm is the spirit dragon who answered the call of the Mardu — and brought the storm with him. More than just a symbol of honor, Neriv supercharges the battlefield by doubling the damage from your creatures the turn they enter.
Whether you’re swinging in with hasty Dragons or going wide with tokens, Neriv is here to make sure every creature hits like a freight train. Cards like Dragon Tempest and Scourge of Valkas shine in this setup, triggering even harder when paired with Neriv’s devastating passive. Add Myriad, Mobilize, or any effect that creates sudden threats, and you’re cooking with fire.
Yes, Neriv doesn’t protect himself or do something flashy when he enters — but when you build your deck right, he doesn’t need to. He’s the fuel. Your creatures? They’re the explosion.
So if you’re building around Mardu, haste, or straight-up aggression, Neriv is your ultimate game-finisher. Dragons, tokens, ETBs — if it moves, it’s dealing double.
