Mycoloth

Description

Mycoloth is a Rare creature card from the Magic: The Gathering Commander 2016 set, designated as card number 158. This five-mana green Fungus creature brings strategic depth to the game through its unique ability to scale rapidly during play. The card requires three generic mana and two green mana to cast, resulting in a mana value of five. When Mycoloth enters the battlefield, players can sacrifice any number of other creatures to grant it twice that many +1/+1 counters, a mechanic known as Devour 2. This allows the creature to grow significantly larger than its base 4/4 power and toughness. The card’s ongoing impact continues at the beginning of its controller’s upkeep. For every +1/+1 counter on Mycoloth, a 1/1 green Saproling creature token is created. This synergy between the counters and the token generation makes Mycoloth a compelling choice for decks focused on creature swarms and board presence. The design of the card places it firmly within the Commander 2016 release, appealing to collectors of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game who appreciate the strategic versatility of fungal-themed creatures. The artwork for this card was created by Raymond Swanland, adding to the visual identity of the C16 set code release. Collectors looking to expand their Magic: The Gathering libraries often value Mycoloth for its distinct rules text and role within the Commander format. Mycoloth uses its Devour 2 ability to enter the battlefield with +1/+1 counters, then creates Saproling tokens during upkeep for each counter it holds.
