The Anvilwrought Raptor, card number 221 in the Core Set 2020 expansion, is a foil common artifact creature bird released in 2019. Illustrated by James Zapata, this Magic: The Gathering card features a mana cost of four mana and a mana value of four. It enters the battlefield as a 2/1 with the flying and first strike keywords. The first strike ability allows this creature to deal its combat damage before creatures without first strike, providing a tactical advantage during attacks. The card includes flavor text from Brigone, a soldier of Meletis, which references the creature's dual nature of lightness in flight and weight in strike. Collectors interested in the Core Set 2020 checklist may seek this card number to complete their set. The foil treatment adds a distinct finish compared to the nonfoil version. As an artifact bird, it interacts with specific game mechanics relevant to artifact synergies. The card remains a part of the standard base set design from that year.
