Heavenly Qilin

Description

The 2018 Magic: The Gathering card Heavenly Qilin (GS1 #6) serves as a foundational white mana source within the Global Series Jiang Yanggu & Mu Yanling expansion. This Common rarity card features a mana cost of {2}{W} and represents a 3-mana value Creature — Kirin with a base power and toughness of 2/2. Designed by artist Xin-Yu Liu, the card introduces a versatile ability that enhances board presence through aerial mobility. The card's rules text grants it the flying keyword, meaning it can only be blocked by creatures possessing flying or reach. Additionally, its triggered ability allows players to target another creature they control, granting that creature flying until end of turn whenever Heavenly Qilin attacks. This synergy makes the card a flexible tool for constructing aggressive strategies that rely on speed and evasion. Collectors of the GS1 set often seek this card to complete their base collection or to appreciate its clean mechanical design. The Global Series Jiang Yanggu & Mu Yanling release highlights distinct Asian-inspired themes, and Heavenly Qilin stands out as a key component for players building white-based decks. Its straightforward yet impactful abilities make it a staple for casual play and a recognizable piece for enthusiasts of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game universe.
