Valakut Predator

Description

The Valakut Predator, card number 160 from the 2015 Battle for Zendikar expansion, is a staple in Magic: The Gathering collecting for its distinct gameplay mechanics. As a red Elemental with a mana cost of {2}{R}, this creature brings significant board presence through its Landfall ability. Whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control, the Predator gains +2/+2 until the end of turn, allowing it to scale rapidly in environments that prioritize land deployment. This design makes it a versatile option for collectors who appreciate cards that reward strategic resource management. Created by artist Kev Walker, the card represents the chaotic and volatile nature of Zendikar’s floating continents. Collectors often seek out this print to complete their Battle for Zendikar base sets or to utilize in formats that value aggressive elemental strategies. The straightforward 2/2 power and toughness provide a reliable early-game presence, while its scaling potential offers long-term utility. For enthusiasts of the Magic trading card game, owning a copy of Valakut Predator adds depth to both casual collections and competitive decks.
