Inkwell Leviathan

Description

The Inkwell Leviathan is a formidable 9-mana artifact creature from the 2020 Double Masters set, identified as card number 55 in the 2XM expansion. As an Artifact Creature — Leviathan, this card commands a substantial mana investment to bring a massive 7/11 body to the battlefield. Its sheer size makes it difficult for opponents to remove without specific interaction, establishing it as a significant threat in play. This version features the prestigious foil finish, adding visual appeal to the card’s design. The artwork by Anthony Francisco complements the creature’s imposing nature, though the card’s mechanics are the true draw for competitive players. Inkwell Leviathan possesses Trample, allowing excess combat damage to flow to the opponent when the creature is blocked. Additionally, it grants Islandwalk, meaning it cannot be blocked as long as the defending player controls an Island, making it nearly impossible to stop in many scenarios. A defining feature of this card is Shroud, which protects it from being targeted by any spells or abilities. While this prevents opponents from removing it with direct answers, it also means the controller cannot target it with their own buffs or counters. This unique restriction adds a layer of strategic depth, requiring careful management of the creature’s presence on the board. Whether you are building a competitive deck or adding to your vintage card collection, this card offers both mechanical power and aesthetic value.
