About Aven Initiate

Aven Initiate, Creature — bird warrior, designed by Jakub Kasper first released in May, 2020 in the set Amonkhet and was printed exactly in 5 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 2.37.

A deck that focuses on tempo and evasion strategies, such as a blue-white flyers or control deck, would benefit from including Aven Initiate due to its flying ability and potential to generate additional threats through its embalm ability. While Aven Initiate is a solid inclusion in such a deck, there are potentially better options available like Aven Wind Guide or Aven Mindcensor, depending on the specific strategy and synergies of the deck. Overall, Aven Initiate can see play in the right deck but may be outclassed by more powerful options in certain situations.

Rules

07/14/17

Once you’ve activated an embalm ability, the card is immediately exiled. Opponents can’t try to stop the ability by exiling the card with an effect such as that of Crook of Condemnatnion.

04/18/17

For each card with embalm, a corresponding game play supplement token can be found in some Amonkhet booster packs. These supplements are not required to play with cards with embalm; you can use the same items to represent an embalmed token as you would any other token.

04/18/17

The token is a Zombie in addition to its other types and is white instead of its other colors. It has no mana cost, and thus its converted mana cost is 0. These are copiable values of the token that other effects may copy.
