Description

Released in 2024 as part of the Magic: The Gathering Bloomburrow Promos set, The Infamous Cruelclaw (card number 219s) stands out as a foil mythic rare legendary creature. Designed by Christina Kraus, this card features the distinct Weasel Mercenary type and commands a mana cost of {1}{B}{R}. With a mana value of 3 and power/toughness of 3/3, it serves as a formidable presence in the Black and Red color identities. The card’s design is defined by its unique gameplay mechanics that reward aggressive play. It possesses the Menace keyword, making it challenging to block. More importantly, its triggered ability creates a powerful value engine: whenever The Infamous Cruelclaw deals combat damage to a player, you may exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a nonland card.

As a promotional release, this foil mythic rare holds significant appeal for dedicated Magic: The Gathering collectors. The combination of the high-rarity mythic status and the special foil finish makes it a desirable addition to any collection focused on the Bloomburrow era., enthusiasts can find this card to complete their sets or invest in a visually striking piece of the game's latest promotional landscape. The Infamous Cruelclaw represents the creative depth and mechanical innovation that define modern Magic: The Gathering releases.
