Description
Silent-Blade Oni is a formidable seven-mana creature in the Magic: The Gathering Commander product line, released in 2018 as card number 191 in the Commander set. Illustrated by Steve Prescott, this rare card represents the hybrid Demon and Ninja creature types, bringing a distinct strategic depth to the B/U (Black/Blue) color identity. Its high mana value of 7 reflects its significant battlefield presence as a 6/5 powerhouse capable of swinging for substantial damage. The card’s primary appeal lies in its interactive gameplay mechanics. It features Ninjutsu, allowing players to swap it into combat from their hand for a specific mana cost, making it a versatile threat that can bypass blockers. Furthermore, when Silent-Blade Oni deals combat damage to a player, it enables the controller to look at that player's hand and potentially cast a spell from it without paying its mana cost. This combination of evasion and resource advantage makes it a compelling choice for collectors who appreciate complex, high-impact creature designs. For enthusiasts of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, this release offers a tangible piece of strategic history, blending art and function in a way that defines the Commander experience.
