Tromokratis

Description

The 55★ foil promo Tromokratis represents a distinct release within Magic: The Gathering's 2014 Born of the Gods Promos collection. This legendary creature, a Kraken with a mana cost of {5}{U}{U}, stands out to collectors for its impressive 8/8 power and toughness combined with unique gameplay mechanics. The card grants hexproof unless it is attacking or blocking, and it cannot be blocked unless all creatures the defending player controls are assigned to block it, making it a formidable presence in the game. Printed with a rare foil finish, this card by artist Jaime Jones appeals to those who appreciate the visual impact of parallel treatments in the Born of the Gods Promos series. The star symbol (★) in its card number, 55★, identifies it as a special promo variant, distinct from the standard set distribution. For Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts, acquiring this promo card offers a tangible connection to the era's strategic depth and artistic direction. Collectors often seek this card to complete specialized sets or to add a high-impact legendary creature to their collection. Its status as a promo release means it is less common than standard set cards, increasing its value among those who focus on rare variants and promotional exclusives. The combination of Jaime Jones's design and the card's powerful rules text makes it a notable item for any serious Magic: The Gathering catalog.
