Foundry Champion

Description

This card, identified by the number 165★, features a star-foil finish that distinguishes it from standard print runs. The artwork is by James Ryman, bringing the creature to life on the card face. Foundry Champion is a six-mana creature with the type Elemental Soldier. Its design blends the destructive nature of red mana with the disciplined structure of white mana, resulting in a 4/4 body that demands attention on the battlefield. The card’s abilities allow players to deal damage to any target equal to the number of creatures they control when it enters the battlefield. This makes the card particularly impactful in decks that prioritize board presence and creature density. In addition to its entry trigger, Foundry Champion offers flexible combat utility. Players can pay one red mana to give it +1/+0 until end of turn, or pay one white mana to grant it +0/+1. This dual-color flexibility allows for strategic adjustments during gameplay, adapting to different board states or opponent threats. The card’s mana value of 6 places it in the mid-to-late game window, requiring careful resource management to cast effectively.
