About Arena Athlete

Arena Athlete, Creature — human, designed by Jason Chan first released in Sep, 2013 in the set Theros and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of NZ$ 0.04.

The Arena Athlete card could benefit a red aggressive deck that focuses on targeting its own creatures with spells to disrupt the opponent's blocking strategy. However, there are potentially better cards like Monastery Swiftspear or Soul-Scar Mage that offer more consistent and powerful effects for a similar cost. While Arena Athlete has situational utility, it may not see widespread play in competitive decks due to its limited impact compared to other options available.
