District Mascot

Description

District Mascot arrives in the 2025 Magic: The Gathering Aetherdrift expansion as card number 158, offering collectors a distinct entry in the modern TCG landscape. This rare foil card depicts a Dog Mount creature with a mana cost of one green mana, making it an accessible yet strategic addition to any collection. Designed by artist Liiga Smilshkalne, the card carries the DFT set code, identifying it clearly within the Aetherdrift catalog for serious enthusiasts tracking specific releases. As a creature card with the Dog and Mount subtypes, District Mascot brings unique mechanics to the table that appeal to players and collectors alike. The card enters the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter already attached, providing immediate presence on the board. Players can utilize its activated ability by paying one green mana and removing two +1/+1 counters to destroy a target artifact, offering versatile interaction against non-creature permanents. Additionally, whenever the creature attacks while saddled, it gains another +1/+1 counter, rewarding aggressive playstyles and saddle synergies. The foil finish adds visual appeal, catching the light with every shuffle and enhancing its value as a collectible piece. Whether you are building a themed deck around the Mount archetype or simply expanding your Aetherdrift portfolio, this card serves as a functional and aesthetic asset. The combination of its low mana cost, impactful artifact removal, and counter-increasing ability makes it a standout piece for those who appreciate mechanical depth in their Magic: The Gathering holdings.
