Grunn, the Lonely King

Description

The 2018 Dominaria expansion marked a significant milestone in Magic: The Gathering history, serving as the first return to the game's original plane. Within this massive release, Gunn, the Lonely King (card #165) stands out as a powerful green legendary creature. Illustrated by Mathias Kollros, this foil variant captures the essence of the Ape Warrior archetype with a striking metallic finish. For collectors, this card offers both aesthetic and mechanical appeal. As a legendary creature with a mana value of six, it commands the board with a base of five power and toughness. Its unique kicker mechanic allows players to pay an additional {3} mana to enter the battlefield with five +1/+1 counters, instantly transforming it into a formidable threat. When attacking alone, the card doubles its power and toughness until end of turn, making it a decisive force in combat. The foil treatment adds a layer of visual distinction, appealing to those who value finish quality alongside gameplay utility. Whether you are building a Commander deck focused on tribal warrior strategies or simply expanding your Dominaria collection, this card represents a key piece of the set's narrative and mechanical depth. Its role in the lore and its impact in gameplay make it a notable addition for any serious Magic: The Gathering enthusiast.
