Tetsuo, Imperial Champion

Description

Printed with the set code DMC66, this Magic: The Gathering card stands out for its premium finish and complex gameplay mechanics. The card requires a mana cost of {U}{B}{R} and brings a versatile threat to the battlefield with 3 power and 3 toughness. The card’s ability activates whenever it attacks, provided it is equipped. At that moment, the controller chooses one of two distinct effects based on the equipment attached to Tetsuo. The first option allows the player to deal damage equal to the highest mana value among attached equipment to any target. Alternatively, the player may cast an instant or sorcery spell from their hand with a mana value less than or equal to that same greatest mana value, without paying its mana cost. This flexibility makes it a compelling piece for commanders who build around equipment strategies. As a key mythic rare from the Commander subset, it serves as a focal point for decks built around the blue, black, and red color identity. The artwork by Lius Lasahido complements the samurai theme, enhancing its appeal for fans of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.
