Wasteland Strangler

Description

As card number 102 in the set, this foil rare features the artist Jack Wang’s interpretation of the Eldrazi entity. The card is printed with a foil finish, distinguishing it within the standard rare distribution and appealing to collectors who prioritize visual treatment in their holdings. Gameplay for Wasteland Strangler centers on its Devoid ability, which gives the creature no color identity despite its black mana cost. This unique trait allows it to be cast in decks that strictly avoid black mana sources, providing strategic flexibility not available to its non-Devoid counterparts. When entering the battlefield, the Strangler allows a player to exile a card owned by an opponent and place it into their graveyard. If this effect resolves, it grants -3/-3 to a target creature until end of turn, offering a powerful, conditional removal tool that scales with the opponent's board presence. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering trading cards often seek out specific set symbols and finish types to complete their Battle for Zendikar collection. The foil treatment adds a layer of desirability for those building thematic displays or focusing on high-quality artifacts from the Oath of the Gatewatch era. Whether you are interested in the lore of the Eldrazi, the mechanics of the Devoid frame, or simply the aesthetic of a foil rare from 2015, this card represents a significant piece of Modern format history. The card's blend of mechanical innovation and visual appeal makes it a staple for any serious MTG collection focused on the Battle for Zendikar set.
