Magic: The Gathering: 10 Most Powerful One-Mana Creatures In Standard Right Now

For a card with such a low cost, Fervent Champion is a combo piece which can certainly define a deck. His synergy with other knight creature cards is a nice +1 bonus to damage, but it’s only the start of what makes him great.

With both haste and first strike, this creature is incredibly survivable, able to take down any 1 toughness creature without risking any damage to himself, stopping your opponent from steamrolling you early game.

Furthermore, much like Tin Street Dodger, this card shines the most when buffed. However, unlike the Dodger, it is incredibly easy to increase the power level of this knight as equip effects which target him cost 3 less, meaning with the right hand you can get some insane turn 1 damage which your opponent will be hard-pressed to pull back from.
