Description

Snapdax, Apex of the Hunt (PIKO-209p) is a legendary Dinosaur Cat Nightmare creature from the Ikoria promo set. It has mutate as an alternate-casting option, double strike, and a triggered ability that deals 4 damage to a target opponent's creature or planeswalker and gives you 4 life whenever it mutates. As a four-mana 3/5 with double strike and a built-in removal-plus-lifegain on mutation, it can serve as both a damage-pressing threat and a removal engine in decks built around mutate or creature-heavy synergies.
