Product Overview

Description

The Netherborn Phalanx, designated as card number 6 in the 2018 GRN Guild Kit, stands as a formidable presence in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game universe. Crafted by artist Christopher Rush, this uncommon black Horror creature demands a mana cost of five generic and one black mana to cast. With a mana value of six, it serves as a pivotal late-game threat for players focusing on black-aligned strategies. What distinguishes this card within the Guild Kit series is its dual utility. Upon entering the battlefield, it forces each opponent to lose one life for every creature they control, making it exceptionally potent against board-heavy opponents. Furthermore, the card includes the Transmute ability, costing {1}{B}{B}. This allows a player to discard the Netherborn Phalanx to search their library for another card with the same mana value, offering incredible flexibility for deck construction and resource management. For dedicated Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts, acquiring cards from the GRN Guild Kit is a meaningful pursuit. These kits were designed to help players explore the Ravnica guilds, and this release captures the essence of the Golgari and Dimir themes through its unique mechanics. Collectors often seek out cards like the Netherborn Phalanx to complete their guild kit collections or to utilize its strategic value in casual and competitive play. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to shift the game's momentum through life loss or card advantage, making it a staple in many black decks. Whether you are building a new library or expanding your existing portfolio, this card offers both aesthetic and functional value for any serious player.
