Putrid Leech

Description

As card number 95 in the set, this foil edition features the distinct shimmering finish sought after by TCG collectors who appreciate the visual contrast of foil treatments against the standard card borders. The card depicts a Zombie Leech with a power and toughness of 2/2, making it a low-cost creature that can be cast for two mana across black and green mana pools. Its ability allows a player to pay two life to grant the creature a temporary +2/+2 boost until the end of the turn, activating this power once per turn. This mechanic provides flexibility in combat scenarios, allowing for surprise damage or blocking adjustments. For investors and hobbyists building a comprehensive collection, having every card from the Alara Reborn set is a common goal. The foil variant of Putrid Leech stands out as a desirable piece for those who prioritize finish quality alongside card identity. Whether you are completing a set, focusing on specific creature types, or simply admiring the artwork and mechanics of the 2009 release, this card represents a solid addition to any Magic: The Gathering library. The enduring appeal of the Alara block ensures that cards like this remain relevant topics of discussion and collection among the global TCG community.
