Lightning Runner

Description

The Lightning Runner is a Mythic Rare creature card from the 2017 Aether Revolt Promos set, identified by the card number 90s in the PAER set code. Printed in a foil finish, this Magic: The Gathering card features the artist Raymond Swanland and depicts a Human Warrior with a mana cost of {3}{R}{R}. As a five-mana creature, it possesses a power and toughness of 2/2, but its true value lies in its dynamic rules text. The card grants double strike and haste, allowing it to deal combat damage immediately in both the first and second combat phases. Its triggered ability activates whenever it attacks, giving the controller two energy counters. If the player pays eight energy counters, the ability untaps all creatures they control and creates an additional combat phase after the current one. This design enables complex combat sequences and aggressive strategies within the game. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering often seek out promo cards to expand their library of unique releases. The Aether Revolt Promos set offers a distinct alternative to standard expansion sets, featuring cards distributed through special channels. The 90s numbering places this foil version within that promotional collection. Whether you are building a collection focused on specific sets or hunting for rare treatments, this promo card represents a notable entry in the modern era of Magic: The Gathering. The combination of the Mythic Rare rarity tier and the foil treatment makes this card a visually striking addition to any binder or display case.
