Description
Xantcha, Sleeper Agent is a distinctive legendary creature from the 2018 Commander release, identified by card number 50. As a Phyrexian Minion with a mana cost of {1}{B}{R}, this card introduces a strategic layer where the minion initially enters the battlefield under an opponent's control. This dynamic creates immediate tension, as the creature is compelled to attack but cannot target its owner or their planeswalkers, forcing opponents to navigate complex tactical decisions. The card's rules text allows any player to activate its ability, costing three mana to make Xantcha's controller lose two life while the activator draws a card. This mechanic makes it a compelling piece for collectors who appreciate unique interactions within Magic: The Gathering. For enthusiasts building collections around legendary Phyrexian characters or seeking cards with high strategic depth, this product represents a significant addition. Whether you are completing a set of Commander staples or seeking cards that challenge conventional deck-building norms, this card offers a unique narrative within the Phyrexian storyline.
