Serra Avatar

Description

The Serra Avatar, designated as card number 2 in the Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013 Promos set, represents a significant entry in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Released in 2012, this Mythic Rare card is highly sought after by collectors who appreciate the unique mechanical design found in promotional releases. Illustrated by Igor Kieryluk, the card features a creature type of Avatar that operates with a mana cost of {4}{W}{W}{W} and a mana value of 7. Within The catalog, this card is recognized for its distinctive gameplay ability rather than standard static power and toughness. Instead of fixed numbers, the Serra Avatar’s power and toughness are each equal to the controller’s life total. This dynamic scaling makes the creature a formidable presence in games, capable of growing substantially as the match progresses. Furthermore, the card includes a beneficial graveyard interaction, allowing the player to shuffle it back into their owner’s library whenever it is put into a graveyard from anywhere. This mechanic ensures that the investment of mana is rarely wasted, adding a layer of resilience to the card’s design. Collectors often target this promo card to complete their Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013 Promos collection. The combination of its Mythic Rare status, the strategic depth of its life-total-based stats, and its inclusion in a digital-to-physical crossover set makes it a standout piece for Magic enthusiasts. Whether you are building a themed collection or looking for a card with a unique mechanical footprint, the Serra Avatar offers a compelling addition to any Magic: The Gathering portfolio.
