Description

The Blightbeetle foil card from Magic: The Gathering Core Set 2020 (card number 87) is an Uncommon Creature — Insect that costs {1}{B} to cast. Designed by Jason Kang, this card features a foil finish that distinguishes it within the M20 set checklist. The creature has a mana value of 2 and possesses the colors B with a power and toughness of 1/1. The card's rules text provides two distinct effects for players who include it in their decks. First, it grants the creature protection from green, which means it cannot be blocked, targeted, dealt damage, enchanted, or equipped by anything green. Second, it applies a board-wide effect where creatures your opponents control cannot have +1/+1 counters put on them. This combination makes the card a strategic tool in black-heavy strategies, particularly against decks that rely on token generation or counter-based synergies. The foil variant adds a tactile element to the card, appealing to those who enjoy the visual contrast of the shimmering surface against the standard card stock.
