Alms Collector

Description

As a white Creature — Cat Cleric, this card brings a specific mechanical interaction that challenges opponents during the draw phase. The card features a mana cost of {3}{W} and has a mana value of 4, positioning it as a mid-game threat that requires careful mana management. Its power and toughness are rated at 3/4, offering a solid presence on the battlefield once it resolves. The most defining feature of Alms Collector is its ability to disrupt an opponent's card advantage. When an opponent attempts to draw two or more cards at the same time, the effect prevents that action. Instead, the controller of Alms Collector and the opposing player each draw a single card. This interaction is particularly relevant in formats where mass card draw spells are common, turning a potentially devastating hand refill into a balanced exchange. The card also possesses flash, allowing it to be cast in response to an opponent's spell or ability, ensuring it can intervene before the draw occurs. Collectors of the Commander series often appreciate the Alms Collector for its flavorful design and mechanical niche. The flavor text, "There is no justice when some profit and others go without," reflects the card's role in redistributing resources. This product is part of the Commander C17 set, designed to provide fresh options for singleton formats and casual play. The card's design by Bram Sels adds to its visual appeal within the set. For those interested in the strategic depth of Magic: The Gathering, this card represents a distinct piece of the Commander universe.
