The Displacer Beast foil card, designated as number 305 in the 2021 Adventures in the Forgotten Realms expansion, offers a distinct addition to any Magic: The Gathering collection. Designed by artist Phil Stone, this uncommon release captures the essence of a creature that seamlessly blends fantasy lore with strategic gameplay depth. For collectors focusing on specific set completions or thematic archetypes, this foil variant provides a visually striking component that stands out in a binder or display case. As a Magic: The Gathering trading card game card, this release is defined by its specific mechanical identity. The creature operates as a Cat Beast with a mana cost of two generic mana and one blue mana, resulting in a mana value of three. Its physical presence on the battlefield is represented by a power and toughness rating of three over two, making it a resilient presence in the game. The card’s strategic value lies in its unique abilities, which allow players to engage with the dungeon mechanic upon entering the battlefield, effectively venturing into the first room or advancing progress.

This allows the controller to return the creature to its owner's hand, providing flexibility and protection during critical moments. This interactive element adds a layer of depth that appeals to both competitive players and casual enthusiasts who enjoy tactical decision-making. The foil treatment enhances the card's aesthetic appeal, reflecting light in a way that highlights the intricate details of the artwork without overshadowing the game's functional design. Owning this card connects collectors to a pivotal moment in the Adventures in the Forgotten Realms storyline, preserving a piece of gaming history through a tangible, high-quality artifact.
