Description
Xanathar, Guild Kingpin stands as a formidable presence in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game universe. Released in 2021 as part of the Adventures in the Forgotten Realms Promos set, this card carries the designation PAFR 239p and features the distinctive foil treatment associated with mythic rare status. As a Legendary Creature — Beholder with the mana cost of four generic, one blue, and one black mana, it commands attention on the battlefield with a robust 5/6 power and toughness. The card's strategic value lies in its ability to control the flow of the game during the upkeep phase. By targeting an opponent, the controller can restrict their spellcasting capabilities while gaining significant information and resource advantages, including the ability to play cards from the top of their library and use any color of mana for those specific spells. Artwork by Kieran Yanner brings this iconic figure to life within the set's design framework. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering trading card game cards often seek out this promo for its gameplay utility and its connection to the popular D&D crossover series. Including this foil mythic rare in your collection adds a layer of prestige and mechanical depth, making it a notable addition for enthusiasts of the format.

At the beginning of your upkeep, choose target opponent. Until end of turn, that player can't cast spells, you may look at the top card of their library any time, you may play the top card of their library, and you may spend mana as though it were mana of any color to cast spells this way.
