Xanathar, Guild Kingpin

Description

Released in 2021, this Magic: The Gathering card captures the essence of the cunning crime lord with a distinct foil treatment that enhances its visual appeal for collectors. As a legendary creature beholder, Xanathar commands attention not just through his imposing mana cost of four generic, one blue, and one black mana, but also through his formidable power and toughness stats of 5/6.

Simultaneously, it grants the controller the ability to peek at the opponent’s library, play cards from the top of it, and use mana of any color to cast those specific spells. This versatility makes Xanathar a formidable presence in the game, appealing to those who appreciate both the lore and the mechanical depth of the Magic: The Gathering universe. The foil finish adds a layer of prestige, making it a desirable addition to any serious collection. Whether you are building a themed deck around the Zhalfirin origins or simply acquiring high-tier mythic rares, this card represents a significant piece of Magic: The Gathering history.
