Tide Drifter

Description

The Tide Drifter from the 2015 Battle for Zendikar set represents a unique intersection of mechanical innovation and lore for Magic: The Gathering collectors. As card number 67 in the BFZ series, this foil release features the iconic artist Daarken and introduces the Devoid mechanic, which allows colorless creatures to function within blue mana decks. This design shift expanded strategic possibilities for players and collectors alike during the Zendikar block. For enthusiasts of the Eldrazi subtype, this card holds a distinct place in the set's ecosystem. The Tide Drifter functions as a defensive presence with a mana value of two and a power/toughness of 0/5. Its primary utility lies in its ability to grant +0/+1 to other colorless creatures you control, making it a valuable support piece for mono-colorless strategies. The Devoid trait ensures it remains colorless, allowing it to bypass traditional color restrictions while still contributing to blue-based mana development. Collecting this release offers more than just gameplay utility. The foil treatment enhances its visual appeal, catching the light in a way that distinguishes it from non-foil counterparts. As an Uncommon rarity, it serves as an accessible yet meaningful addition to a Battle for Zendikar binder. Whether you are building a comprehensive set collection or seeking cards with unique mechanical interactions, the Tide Drifter stands out as a key component of this era of Magic: The Gathering history. By focusing on catalog accuracy and collector context, we help you identify cards that matter to your collection's narrative. This product exemplifies the depth of design that defined the 2015 Battle for Zendikar expansion.
