Nyxborn Eidolon

Description

Nyxborn Eidolon, designated as card number 78, is a notable entry in the Born of the Gods expansion released by Wizards of the Coast in 2014. As a Common rarity card, it serves as a foundational piece for players and collectors interested in the black mana color identity within the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. The card functions as an Enchantment Creature — Spirit with a mana cost of {1}{B} and a power/toughness of 2/1. The strategic appeal of Nyxborn Eidolon lies in its dual nature, facilitated by the bestow mechanic. Players can cast the card for its bestow cost of {4}{B}, transforming it into an Aura that enchants a creature. This provides flexibility, allowing the enchanted unit to receive a +2/+1 boost. If the Aura is removed from the battlefield, it reverts to its original creature state, maintaining its presence on the board. This mechanic encourages dynamic gameplay, rewarding players who can effectively utilize the card's transformative abilities. The inclusion of Nyxborn Eidolon allows enthusiasts to complete their set collections with a complete roster of common cards. Its enduring presence in the Magic: The Gathering ecosystem makes it a staple for those who appreciate the strategic depth and variety offered by the bestow mechanic. Whether used in gameplay or added to a personal archive, Nyxborn Eidolon remains a significant part of the 2014 release's legacy.
