Cleopatra, Exiled Pharaoh

Description

Cleopatra, Exided Pharaoh (ACR #119) represents a significant intersection of two major pop culture franchises within the Magic: The Gathering universe. As a Legendary Creature — Human Noble, the card offers distinct gameplay mechanics that appeal to both lore enthusiasts and competitive players seeking powerful legendary interactions. The card’s design emphasizes the duality of its subject through two primary abilities: Allies and Betrayal. The Allies ability allows the player to place +1/+1 counters on other legendary creatures during their end step, fostering board presence and synergy. Conversely, the Betrayal mechanic introduces a high-risk, high-reward dynamic; when a legendary creature with counters dies, the player draws cards but loses life, reflecting the treacherous nature of political intrigue. This balance makes the card a versatile piece for decks looking to manipulate the board state while managing life totals carefully. For collectors, Mythic Rare cards hold a special place in any Magic: The Gathering collection due to their scarcity and intricate artwork by Néstor Ossandón Leal. The Assassin's Creed set has become a sought-after expansion for fans of both the game and the video game series, making cards like this Cleopatra release particularly desirable. Investing in such high-rarity cards can be a strategic move for those looking to build a premium collection. Whether you are aiming to master the strategic depth of the Betrayal mechanic or simply wish to own a piece of the Assassin's Creed crossover history, this card stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of legendary creatures in the game.
