Yuan-Ti Malison

Description

The Yuan-Ti Malison foil promo card, designated as number 86s, is a 2021 release from Magic: The Gathering’s Adventures in the Forgotten Realms Promos set. Illustrated by Oriana Menendez, this Rare card features a Creature — Snake Rogue with a mana cost of {1}{U} and a power/toughness of 2/1. The card’s distinct foil treatment gives it a recognizable presence among promotional variants from this crossover era. In gameplay, Yuan-Ti Malison offers a specific tactical advantage. The card prevents opponents from blocking it as long as it is attacking alone. When it deals combat damage to a player, the effect triggers the dungeon mechanic, allowing the controller to enter the first room or advance to the next. This interaction ties the card into the broader dungeon theme of the Adventures in the Forgotten Realms set, even though the card itself does not explicitly name the set's overarching story. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering trading cards often target promo cards to complete specific subsets or to acquire foil versions of creatures that fit into their decks. The 86s designation places this card within the promotional checklist rather than the base set. For those interested in the Adventures in the Forgotten Realms Promos series, this card serves as a functional piece for dungeon-focused strategies while also acting as a collectible item for variant hunters. The combination of the Snake Rogue type, the foil finish, and the specific rules text makes it a distinct entry in the 2021 promotional landscape.
