Scytheclaw

Description

Collectors often target this treatment to add visual depth and tactile appeal to their Magic: The Gathering holdings. Scytheclaw functions as a five-mana artifact with a powerful ability that triggers when equipped creature deals combat damage to a player. The card creates a 0/0 black Phyrexian Germ creature token upon entering the battlefield and attaches itself to that token. The equipped creature receives a +1/+1 boost, and the combat damage effect causes the targeted player to lose half their life, rounded up. This mechanic makes the card a memorable piece for both gameplay and collection purposes. Art by James Paick, this card is identified as number 615 in the Commander Masters set (CMM). The etched treatment is applied to the rare version, making it a standout piece for enthusiasts of the Commander format. The distinct finish and powerful ability combine to create a card that is visually striking and mechanically impactful. For investors and hobbyists alike, the Commander Masters etched cards represent a significant tier of collectibility within the Magic: The Gathering universe. The combination of James Paick’s design and the etched finish makes Scytheclaw a notable entry for any serious collector of modern Magic artifacts.
