Moonlit Strider

Description

Moonlit Strider, card number 16 from the 2005 Betrayers of Kamigawa expansion, is a white one-color Spirit creature that captures the ethereal theme of the Kamigawa block. Illustrated by John Avon, this Common card from the BOK set offers a unique blend of defensive utility and resource management for players of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. With a mana cost of three generic mana and one white mana, the creature serves as a resilient board presence with a 1/4 power and toughness profile. Collectors and players alike appreciate the card's strategic versatility. Its ability allows you to sacrifice the Spirit to grant another creature protection from a chosen color, providing crucial defense during pivotal turns. Additionally, the Soulshift 3 mechanic enables you to return a target Spirit card with mana value 3 or less from your graveyard to your hand when this creature dies, helping to maintain card advantage and sustain your strategy. For those building decks within the Kamigawa block, Moonlit Strider represents a key piece of the white mana base, offering consistent value through its recurring effects. Including this card in your collection adds depth to your understanding of the set's design and the strategic possibilities available to Spirit-based decks during this era of the game.
