Avatar Kyoshi, Earthbender

Description

As a Legendary Creature — Human Avatar, this Mythic Rare card brings significant strategic depth to the green mana pool. Designed by artist Tetsuko, the card features a mana cost of five generic mana and three green mana, reflecting its status as an eight-mana-value powerhouse. In gameplay, Avatar Kyoshi offers robust protection through hexproof, ensuring it remains safe from opposing spells during your turn. The card’s primary strength lies in its combat trigger: at the beginning of combat on your turn, it allows you to earthbend eight, untapping a target land you control. This effect transforms that land into a 0/0 creature with haste while simultaneously placing eight +1/+1 counters on it. When that land eventually dies or is exiled, it returns to the battlefield tapped, providing a recurring source of value. Collectors and players alike appreciate this design for its ability to accelerate land deployment and generate substantial board presence. Including this card in your Magic: The Gathering collection adds both aesthetic appeal from Tetsuko’s illustration and tactical versatility to any green-based deck.
