Description

As a Masticore subtype creature, it possesses a mana value of three and a power/toughness of 3/4, offering a balanced presence on the battlefield. The card’s mechanics allow players to discard a card to cast the spell, after which it provides protection from planeswalkers. Additionally, it can deal damage to target planeswalkers for a single mana or gain indestructibility for three mana, making it a versatile tool for defense and offense. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering trading card game cards often seek this card to complete sets or for its unique ability to interact with the planeswalker subtype. The M21 release remains a significant entry in the Core Set lineage, appealing to both competitive players and casual hobbyists who appreciate strategic depth. Whether you are building a casual Commander deck or focusing on Standard format strategies, this card offers a reliable mechanism for protecting your planeswalkers while applying pressure to your opponents. The combination of its artifact nature and creature type makes it a flexible piece in many strategic archetypes.
