Ogre Battledriver

Description

Ogre Battledriver stands out in the Duels of the Planeswalkers 2014 Promos set as a high-impact creature card for Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts. Released in 2013, this promotional release captures the aggressive spirit of the red mana color identity, offering collectors a distinct piece of digital card game history that transcends its original platform. As a Rare card numbered 2, it holds a specific place in the catalog for those tracking the evolution of promotional treatments during this era. The card’s design emphasizes its role as a Creature — Ogre Warrior with a mana cost of {2}{R}{R}. Its gameplay effect is both simple and devastating: whenever another creature enters the battlefield under your control, that creature gains +2/+0 and haste until end of turn. This ability allows players to swarm the board with immediate aggression, making it a staple in many competitive strategies. The flavor text humorously notes that ogres are driven by passion and rage, adding narrative depth to the mechanical power. For collectors, the foil finish adds significant visual appeal, distinguishing this promo from its non-foil counterparts. The artwork by Matt Stewart brings the Ogre Battledriver to life, showcasing the detailed illustration style characteristic of Magic: The Gathering. While originally designed for the Duels of the Planeswalkers 2014 video game, the card’s impact on the broader trading card game community is undeniable. Collectors often seek this card to complete their Duels of the Planeswalkers 2014 Promos collection or to appreciate its unique foil treatment. Whether you are a seasoned player or a new collector, Ogre Battledriver offers a compelling blend of mechanical utility and aesthetic beauty.
