Bident of Thassa

{2}{U}{U}

Legendary Enchantment Artifact

LegalCard DrawRank #412

Whenever a creature you control deals combat damage to a player, you may draw a card.

{1}{U}, {T}: Creatures your opponents control attack this turn if able.

Why is this card good?

Bident of Thassa is a powerful payoff for go-wide and combat-focused blue decks, turning every connecting attacker into a card. Unlike Reconnaissance Mission or Coastal Piracy (one-shot enchantments doing the same thing), Bident adds a relevant activated ability and dodges artifact-only removal less than the others dodge enchantment removal — pick based on your deck's interaction profile. Where it shines: - Tokens and go-wide decks (Talrand, Brago, Edric) where many small creatures connect for a flood of cards. - Edric specifically wants both halves — though Edric already draws on damage, Bident stacks card flow. - The forced-attack ability is sneaky removal/political tech: bait out opponents' creatures into a bigger board, or force a damaged opponent's blockers away. When to skip it: Control or spellslinger shells with few creatures get little value — you need bodies that reliably connect. It's also slow against decks with strong blockers or board wipes. In faster cEDH metas, a four-mana value engine that needs combat is too durdly. Solid in casual/midrange blue creature decks.
