Kitsune, Dragon's Daughter

—

Kitsune is a 6/6 vigilance for 6 that repeatedly disrupts creature boards by swapping control of two opponents' creatures on ETB and each combat damage hit. In multiplayer Commander, the ability to permanently redistribute opposing threats is powerful political and control disruption; vigilance lets it attack without giving up a blocker. However, it requires opponents to have creatures (dead in creatureless metas), costs 6 mana (too slow for aggro/combo), and demands the battlefield state cooperate. Signature in control and stax-prison shells that want to steal/displace key opponent pieces.

• The creature-swap effect is a permanent exchange, not temporary — after Kitsune triggers, the two swapped creatures remain under their new controllers indefinitely, which can be used to gift a weak blocker while stealing a powerful threat.

• Because the exchange targets two creatures controlled by *different players*, in a 1v1 Brawl game you control one target and your opponent controls the other — you can swap one of your own creatures for one of theirs, making the ability a pseudo-Act of Treason that sticks.

• Vigilance is crucial here: Kitsune can attack each turn to re-trigger the swap ability without tapping, enabling repeated board reshuffling every combat step.
