Fungal Shambler

Description

Released in 2001 as part of the Magic: The Gathering Apocalypse Promos series, the Fungal Shambler card (#100) stands out as a formidable artifact for competitive and casual play. This Rare foil card, illustrated by Jim Nelson, brings a unique threat to the battlefield with its high mana cost of {4}{B}{G}{U} and imposing 6/4 body. As a Creature — Fungus Beast, it leverages the Trample ability to ensure damage reaches the opponent, making it difficult to block effectively. The true power of this card lies in its triggered ability. Whenever the Fungal Shambler deals damage to an opponent, players draw a card while simultaneously forcing their opponent to discard one. This dynamic creates a significant advantage in resource management, rewarding aggressive plays with card advantage and board control. Collectors appreciate this card not only for its gameplay utility but also for its distinctive foil treatment and its place within the Apocalypse Promos subset. The visual design by Jim Nelson adds to its appeal, making it a standout piece for any Magic: The Gathering trading card game collection. Whether you are building a specific deck or expanding your catalog of rare promos, this card offers both strategic depth and aesthetic value.
