Elder Gargaroth

Description

Designed by artist Nicholas Gregory, card number 373 in the set, this creature commands attention with its imposing 6/6 power and toughness stats. Elder Gargaroth stands out among other cards in the Core Set due to its flexible gameplay mechanics.

Collectors often seek this foil variant for its premium finish and the prestige associated with mythic rare status.
