Jund Hackblade

Description

The 2009 release of Alara Reborn for Magic: The Gathering introduced Jund Hackblade as card number 138, a foil common that appeals to collectors of the block. As a Goblin Berserker, this creature carries a mana cost of {B/G}{R} and boasts a 2/1 power and toughness, making it an efficient presence on the battlefield. Mechanically, Jund Hackblade offers a strategic advantage for players building multicolored decks. As long as you control another multicolored permanent, this creature receives a +1/+1 boost and gains haste. This ability allows it to attack immediately upon entering the field, providing a sudden burst of damage that can catch opponents off guard. The flavor text accompanying the card hints at the chaotic nature of the Jund coalition, describing a foul brute who interrupts knightly rites with brute force. For collectors, the foil treatment adds a layer of visual appeal to this common card. The shimmering finish distinguishes it from the nonfoil versions, making it a desirable addition for those completing the Alara Reborn checklist or focusing on foil subsets. The card was illustrated by Dan Dos Santos, whose work on the set is widely recognized. Whether you are building a deck centered around multicolored permanents or collecting the diverse array of cards from the Alara Reborn expansion, Jund Hackblade represents a key piece of the Jund identity. Its straightforward yet effective ability makes it a staple for players who enjoy aggressive, multi-colored strategies.
