Eternal Witness

Description

The Eternal Witness is a Green Uncommon creature card from the Magic: The Gathering Commander 2011 set, designated as card number 152 with the set code CMD. Illustrated by Terese Nielsen, this card features the type line Creature — Human Shaman and possesses a mana cost of {1}{G}{G}, resulting in a mana value of three. The card’s power and toughness are listed as 2/1, placing it within the standard creature framework for its casting cost. In gameplay, the Eternal Witness is widely recognized for its efficient graveyard recursion ability. When the creature enters the battlefield, the controller may choose to return any target card from their graveyard directly to their hand. This effect allows players to retrieve key resources, such as removal spells or additional threats, effectively resetting their board state without depleting their library. The flavor text notes, "She remembers every word spoken, from the hero's oath to the baby's cry," adding narrative depth to the character's role as a keeper of history. For collectors of Magic: The Gathering trading card game cards, the Eternal Witness serves as a functional piece of the Commander 2011 release. Its green color identity makes it a natural fit for decks focused on green-based strategies. While its 2/1 stats are modest, its utility in recurring cards makes it a consistent choice for players building decks around resource management. The card remains a distinct part of the 2011 Commander series, appealing to those who appreciate the strategic depth of the game's legendary formats.
