Card face

What it does

At the beginning of your upkeep, put a shield counter on target creature an opponent controls.

Whenever you put one or more counters on a creature you don't control, tap that creature and goad it. It gains trample until your next turn. (Until your next turn, that creature attacks each combat if able and attacks a player other than you if able.)

Provenance

Where it came from

Kros, Defense Contractor was released in 2022 as part of the Streets of New Capenna Commander set, a collection themed around a 1920s-inspired, Art Deco metropolis controlled by organized crime syndicates. The card represents a key character within the setting’s lore, designed to mechanically synergize with the set's unique goad mechanic, which forces opponents to attack one another, reflecting the cutthroat political landscape of the city.

The artwork was commissioned from illustrator Katerina Ladon, who utilized a bold, sharp aesthetic consistent with the set's prohibition-era noir identity. By depicting Kros as a formidable, tactical figure, the design captures the essence of a middleman in a corrupt city. Upon release, the card was received as a nuanced commander for group-hug and chaos-style deck builds, praised for its ability to manipulate combat dynamics on the battlefield.
