Description
The Cytoplast Manipulator is a distinctive Rare card from the 2006 Dissension set, identified by card number 23 in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Illustrated by Dan Murayama Scott, this foil version features a blue mana cost of {2}{U}{U} and represents a Human Wizard Mutant with a power and toughness of 0/0. The card's strategic depth comes from its graft 2 ability, which allows it to enter the battlefield with two +1/+1 counters and transfer them to other creatures as they enter play. Additionally, it offers a powerful interactive option: for one blue mana and by tapping, you can gain control of any target creature that currently has a +1/+1 counter on it, provided the Manipulator remains on the battlefield. This combination of self-sustaining growth and opponent disruption makes it a compelling piece for collectors who appreciate intricate mechanics. The foil treatment adds a layer of visual appeal, making it a standout item in any Magic collection. Whether you are a seasoned collector or new to the game, this card offers a unique glimpse into the complex design philosophy of the Dissension era. Its enduring popularity among fans of blue-based strategies ensures it remains a sought-after addition to comprehensive collections. Explore the diverse range of Magic cards available to enhance your collection with this classic piece from 2006.
