Lightning Elemental

This entry, identified as card number 37 in the set, features the Lightning Elemental, a Creature — Elemental type with a mana cost of {3}{R} and a power/toughness of 4/1. The card's primary mechanical identity lies in its ability to act immediately upon entering the battlefield, allowing for instant impact during gameplay.
