Captain Ripley Vance

Description

Captain Ripley Vance is a Legendary Human Pirate creature found in the 2023 Commander Masters expansion for Magic: The Gathering. Identified by the set code CMM and card number 209, this foil card brings a distinct visual finish to the uncommon rarity tier. The card features a mana cost of {2}{R} and a mana value of 3, fitting into the red color identity with a power and toughness of 3/2. The gameplay design centers on a specific trigger that rewards aggressive casting strategies. Whenever the controller casts their third spell during a single turn, Captain Ripley Vance receives a +1/+1 counter and deals damage equal to its power to any target. This ability creates a dynamic board presence that scales as the player develops their hand, making it a compelling choice for commanders in multiplayer formats. The flavor text highlights her reputation, noting that the Spitfire Bastion bristles with cannons claimed from every ship she has conquered, adding narrative depth to her pirate theme. Art by Mathias Kollros, this foil print offers collectors a shiny alternative to the standard version. Collectors often seek out foil treatments for their aesthetic appeal and the way they catch the light during gameplay. For those building pirate-themed decks or looking for versatile creatures with scaling potential, this card provides both mechanical utility and collectible value. The combination of the foil finish and the creature's unique ability makes it a standout piece for any Magic: The Gathering library.
