Description
Storm Elemental, card number 37, is a key component of the 1996 Alliances expansion for Magic: The Gathering. As an uncommon blue creature, this card brings both aerial dominance and strategic utility to the table. Designed by artist John Matson, the card features a mana cost of five generic mana and one blue mana, making it a mid-to-late game threat that demands careful resource management. The creature boasts a Power/Toughness of 3/4 and possesses the flying ability, allowing it to bypass ground blockers. Beyond its offensive capabilities, Storm Elemental offers powerful control options. Players can tap the creature to exile the top card of their library, then use that effect to tap a target creature with flying, disrupting opponent strategies. Additionally, if the exiled card is a snow land, the Elemental gains a temporary +1/+1 boost, highlighting the set's integration of snow-covered mana sources. This versatility makes it a favorite among collectors seeking depth in vintage gameplay mechanics. Whether you are building a vintage deck or expanding your Magic: The Gathering collection, Storm Elemental represents a distinct era of design and strategy.
