Product Overview

Description

The Tromokratis foil card (Number 55) is a legendary creature from the Born of the Gods expansion, released in 2014 for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Illustrated by Matt Stewart, this seven-mana blue Kraken brings a formidable presence to the battlefield with its 8/8 power and toughness. Collectors appreciate this card for its striking foil finish and its status as a key legendary entity within the set's mythological theme. In gameplay, Tromokratis offers strategic depth through its unique defensive and offensive capabilities. It possesses hexproof, meaning opponents cannot target it with spells or abilities, unless it is currently attacking or blocking. This makes it difficult to remove directly from the board. Additionally, it features a powerful restriction on how it can be blocked: it can only be blocked by creatures that the defending player controls if they choose to block it with every creature they have available. This creates a high-stakes decision for opponents, forcing them to commit their entire defensive force or allow the Kraken to deal damage freely. For TCG enthusiasts, this card represents a significant piece of Magic history. As a rare foil release from 2014, it holds value for those who appreciate the artistic and mechanical design of the Born of the Gods era. Whether you are building a themed deck or simply adding to your collection of legendary creatures, Tromokratis stands out as a powerful and visually appealing choice. Its distinct rules text and foil treatment make it a sought-after item for completionists and strategic players alike.
