Why Play Professional Face-Breaker
Aggressive red decks value Professional Face-Breaker for its immediate board presence and long-term card advantage engine. The menace ability ensures consistent combat damage even through developing board states, while the Treasure generation provides both mana acceleration and fuel for the card draw ability. Deploy this on turn three when you can immediately follow up with additional threats, maximizing the Treasure production from multiple attacking creatures.Format Notes
Professional Face-Breaker sees the most play in Pioneer and Modern aggressive strategies, particularly in red-based midrange decks that need card selection. The card has maintained steady relevance in Historic Brawl and Commander pods where longer games allow the card advantage engine to shine. While never format-warping enough to face bans, it occupies an important role as a bridge between aggressive starts and late-game inevitability.Combos & Synergies
Goblin Rabblemaster creates multiple attacking creatures each turn, generating consistent Treasures while pressuring planeswalkers and life totals. Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer pairs excellently as another evasive threat that produces additional resources, creating redundant engines. Storm the Citadel and similar token-generating spells can immediately activate the Treasure ability while building a threatening board presence that's difficult to stabilize against.Featured in These Decks
