Angler Turtle

Description

The Angler Turtle from the 2022 Magic: The Gathering Game Night: Free-for-All set (card number 23) brings a unique strategic threat to the Blue mana color. As a rare Creature — Turtle with a mana value of 7, this card demands attention in any deck that can support its high casting cost. Designed by Alex Konstad, the card features a mana cost of {5}{U}{U} and boasts a sturdy 5/7 power and toughness, making it a resilient presence on the battlefield. The card’s true value lies in its disruptive abilities. It possesses Hexproof, ensuring that opponents cannot target it with spells or abilities, which provides significant protection during gameplay. Furthermore, it forces all creatures your opponents control to attack each combat if able. This effect creates chaos in multiplayer formats, turning the opponent's army against itself and allowing your other creatures to deal damage freely.

For collectors of the Game Night series, this card represents a key component of the Free-for-All experience. Its design and mechanics are tailored for casual, multi-player interactions where disruption and board control are paramount. The Angler Turtle’s combination of protection and forced conflict makes it a memorable piece of Magic history, appealing to those who appreciate cards that fundamentally alter the flow of a game. Whether you are building a Commander deck or simply enjoying the whimsical nature of the Game Night subset, this card offers a distinct mechanical identity that stands out among other blue creatures.
