Pit Scorpion

Description

Released in 1995 as part of the Fourth Edition for Magic: The Gathering, the Pit Scorpion is identified by card number 153 in the catalog. This common creature card belongs to the black mana color identity and features artwork by Scott Kirschner. It serves as a fundamental building block for collectors completing the base set and for players constructing decks that utilize the poison mechanic. In gameplay, the Pit Scorpion functions as a 1/1 Scorpion creature with a mana cost of two generic mana and one black mana. Its primary ability triggers whenever it deals damage to a player, causing that player to receive a poison counter. Accumulating ten or more poison counters results in a loss of the game, making this card a strategic tool for controlling the board state. The flavor text on the card hints at the danger posed by seemingly minor threats, adding depth to the card's lore within the Magic universe. For enthusiasts of the game, owning a copy of this release is a valuable addition to any collection of classic trading card game artifacts.
