Almost Perfect

Strategy & Gameplay

Almost Perfect is a powerful Aura enchantment from the PIP set that transforms any creature into a formidable threat by setting its base power and toughness to 9/10 while granting it indestructible. At six mana total (four generic, one green, and one white), this card offers exceptional value for players looking to develop an overwhelming board presence or protect their key creatures from removal-based strategies. The indestructible keyword is particularly valuable, as it makes the enchanted creature immune to damage-based removal, sacrifice effects that specifically target indestructible permanents, and other common forms of creature destruction, while the fixed 9/10 stat line ensures consistent power regardless of the enchanted creature's original stats. This card fits naturally into midrange and control decks across multiple formats, particularly in Commander and Legacy where players have access to mana acceleration and creature tutors to maximize its potential. Players often pair Almost Perfect with utility creatures that bring additional value through abilities, transforming modest creatures with card draw, mana generation, or other effects into practically unstoppable threats. The fixed stat line means this works equally well on a one-mana creature or a creature already in play, making it flexible in various game states. For players seeking format legality, Almost Perfect is legal in Legacy, Vintage, Commander, Oathbreaker, and Duel Commander, making it a solid inclusion for multiple formats. If you're building a creature-focused deck that needs a reliable way to turn your creatures into protected threats, Almost Perfect delivers substantial power and resilience.
