This seamless transition captures the essence of the character's evolution. Designed by artist Takayama Toshiaki, the visual presentation complements the set's immersive adaptation of the beloved animated series. The card’s mana cost of {2}{U}{U} and mana value of 4 position it as a mid-game threat that demands careful resource management.
