About Wavecrash Triton

Wavecrash Triton, Creature — merfolk wizard, designed by Ryan Barger first released in Sep, 2013 in the set Theros. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 4.82.

Wavecrash Triton would be a valuable addition to a blue control deck focused on tempo and disruption, as its Heroic ability can help control the board by tapping down key threats. While there may be more powerful options available in the Magic: the Gathering card pool, such as Reflector Mage or Deputy of Detention, Wavecrash Triton could still see play in a budget or theme deck that aims to leverage its tap-down effect for strategic advantage.
