Storm King's Thunder

Description

Storm King's Thunder stands out as a high-impact spell within the Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate expansion. Released in 2022 by Wizards of the Coast, this Magic: The Gathering trading card game card carries the card number 196 and features the distinctive foil treatment associated with Mythic Rare rarity. The card is an Instant with a mana cost of {X}{R}{R}{R} and a mana value of 3, making it a versatile addition to any red-aligned deck. The strategic power of Storm King's Thunder lies in its ability to duplicate spells. When cast, the next instant or sorcery spell you cast that turn is copied X times. This mechanic allows players to choose new targets for each copy, offering immense flexibility in combat or interaction phases. Collectors appreciate this card not only for its gameplay utility but also for its connection to the Dungeons & Dragons universe, specifically the Storm King's Thunder adventure path. The flavor text, attributed to Hekaton, the storm giant king, adds narrative depth that resonates with fans of the crossover theme. The artistic direction by Alexander Mokhov brings the magical intensity of the spell to life, though the focus remains on the card's mechanical design and foil finish. The combination of the Mythic Rare status and the foil finish makes it a sought-after item for enthusiasts of both the trading card game and the fantasy lore it draws from.
