Thrummingbird

Description

The Thrummingbird stands out in the 2023 Commander Masters release as a distinct Phyrexian Bird Horror from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Identified by card number 858 and the set code CMM, this Uncommon creature is a staple for fans of the format. Designed by Efrem Palacios, the card brings a unique mechanical identity to the Commander experience, appealing to collectors who value strategic depth alongside thematic design. As a two-mana creature, Thrummingbird offers immediate board presence with the Flying keyword, allowing it to evade ground-based blockers effectively. Its triggered ability provides a significant strategic advantage: whenever it deals combat damage to a player, the controller can proliferate. This mechanic allows players to choose any number of permanents and/or players already receiving counters, adding another counter of each kind. This interaction makes the card a versatile tool for amplifying existing strategies, whether enhancing +1/+1 counters on allies or increasing poison counters against opponents. For enthusiasts of Magic: The Gathering, collecting cards from Commander Masters provides a glimpse into curated designs meant for casual, social play. The Thrummingbird card represents a blend of horror aesthetics and functional gameplay that defines the set's appeal. Collectors often seek out specific cards like this one to complete their Commander libraries or to appreciate the artistic contributions of Efrem Palacios within the broader Magic: The Gathering universe.
