Slash, Reptile Rampager

—

Slash is a 7/5 legendary for 5 that punishes every creature ETB with 2 damage to each opponent (Alliance trigger) and generates a 2/2 Mutant token on every attack. In a tokens-go-wide or creature-dense shell, each token created can chain into another Alliance trigger, enabling burst damage to the table. In multiplayer Commander the Alliance trigger hits 3 opponents for a potential 6 damage per creature entry, making it a legitimate burn/drain payoff; in 1v1 Brawl the trigger hits only one opponent, reducing its ceiling and keeping it at tier-2.

• The Alliance trigger fires on ANY creature entering under your control, including the Mutant tokens Slash's own attack trigger creates — attacking once produces a token, which then fires the Alliance trigger for 2 damage to each opponent that same turn.

• In multiplayer Commander (3 opponents), a single creature entering deals 6 total face damage across the table, making creature-centric go-wide strategies extremely punishing even with modest board states.

• Slash's token generation is unconditional on attack (no 'when deals combat damage' clause), so it pairs strongly with haste-granters or extra-combat effects to snowball damage and token counts quickly.
