Description

The Budoka Gardener // Dokai, Weaver of Life represents a unique mechanical feature within Magic: The Gathering's 2004 Champions of Kamigawa expansion. As card number 202, this foil version offers collectors a tangible piece of the set's dual-sided design philosophy. The card functions as a Creature — Human Monk with a mana cost of one green mana and a mana value of two. Its power and toughness are listed as 2/1 on the front side. The defining characteristic of this product is its flip mechanic, which transforms the creature into a Legendary Creature — Human Monk named Dokai, Weaver of Life. This transformation is central to the card's identity and gameplay function, allowing players to access different abilities depending on the game state. The green color identity makes it a staple for mono-green or green-based decks during that era. Collector interest in this card often stems from its foil finish and its role in the Champions of Kamigawa storyline. The set code CHK identifies it within the broader Magic: The Gathering catalog, distinguishing it from other printings. For TCG enthusiasts, maintaining a copy of this card is about preserving a piece of gaming history. The dual nature of the card provides both aesthetic appeal and strategic depth. Whether for completing a set or adding to a collection of legendary creatures, the Budoka Gardener // Dokai stands as a distinct entry in the Champions of Kamigawa series. Its foil treatment adds a layer of prestige that appeals to those who value both the game mechanics and the physical presentation of trading cards.
