Description

Falthis, Shadowcat Familiar is a Legendary Creature — Nightmare Cat from the 2020 Magic: The Gathering Commander Legends set. Printed as card number 126, this uncommon foil card offers a unique entry into the Commander format through its Partner ability.

This synergistic effect enhances the survivability and offensive potential of your paired commanders, making it a valuable support piece in competitive and casual play alike. The flavor text, "She sticks to her chosen master closer than their own shadow," perfectly captures the loyal and stealthy nature of this feline entity. Designed by artist Jesper Ejsing, the foil treatment adds a premium tactile and visual quality to the card.
