Description
Wickerbough Elder, card number 80 from the Eventide expansion, represents a distinct mechanical choice in Magic: The Gathering's 2008 roster. As a four-mana Creature — Treefolk Shaman with 4/4 power and toughness, this card introduces a strategic delay that rewards patience. The card enters the battlefield with a -1/-1 counter, requiring an additional green mana activation to remove the counter and destroy a target artifact or enchantment. This design creates a unique tempo trade-off for players managing permanent removal. Released under the EVE set code, the card is illustrated by Jesper Ejsing, whose artwork complements the set's thematic focus on nature and decay. The common rarity makes it accessible for new collectors while remaining a necessary piece for veteran players building decks that interact with permanents.
