Description
The Arbiter of the Ideal, designated as card number 31★, is a distinctive foil promo card from Magic: The Gathering's 2014 Born of the Gods Promos set. Illustrated by Johann Bodin, this rare creature card brings the power of a Sphinx to the tabletop. As a blue mana source with a mana value of six, it demands strategic placement in any deck configuration. The card features a unique mechanic where untapping allows you to reveal the top card of your library; if it is an artifact, creature, or land, you may manifest it onto the battlefield as an enchantment. This interaction creates dynamic board states for players seeking versatile answers. Collectors of the PBNG set often seek out this star-numbered parallel to complete their promotional collections. The foil finish adds a layer of visual appeal that distinguishes it from standard prints. The product represents a tangible piece of Magic: The Gathering history, appealing to those who appreciate both the lore and the gameplay mechanics of the era. Whether you are building a themed collection or adding to your library, this card offers a significant piece of the set's identity.
