Description

Timothar, Baron of Bats is a Legendary Creature card identified by card number 4 in the Magic: The Gathering 2021 Crimson Vow Commander subset. Produced by Wizards of the Coast, this Mythic Rare Vampire Noble carries a mana cost of {4}{B}{B} and features a power and toughness of 4/4. Designed by artist Jason A. Engle, the card represents a significant piece of the Crimson Vow expansion, which was released under the set code VOC. Within the Commander subset, this card appeals to collectors who value high-rarity creature cards with distinct mechanical interactions. The card’s rules text allows players to utilize a Ward ability that requires discarding a card to protect it from spells. Additionally, it features a triggered ability linked to other nontoken Vampires dying; by paying {1} and exiling the dying creature, the player can create a 1/1 black Bat creature token with flying. This token possesses a unique ability that triggers when it deals combat damage to a player. Upon triggering, the token is sacrificed, and the exiled card returns to the battlefield tapped. This cycle of exile and return creates a strategic loop that many Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts find compelling. As a Mythic Rare, Timothar, Baron of Bats holds a prominent place in the collector’s eye, often sought after for its status within the Crimson Vow series. The combination of the Vampire subtype, the Noble supertype, and the high rarity tier makes this card a notable entry for those building collections focused on the Crimson Vow era. Whether for gameplay integration or as a standalone piece of collectible card history, Timothar, Baron of Bats stands as a key identifier for fans of the game's 2021 releases.
