Description

The Thopter Pie Network foil mythic rare card from Magic: The Gathering's 2016 Happy Holidays set offers a playful twist on enchantment gameplay with its token-creating upkeep ability. As card number 16 in the HHO set, this enchantment features a mana cost of {2}{U}{U} and a mana value of 4, requiring three blue mana to cast. The card’s unique mechanic allows players to create 1/1 colorless Thopter artifact creature tokens with flying at the beginning of their upkeep, provided they are currently eating. These tokens are represented by food counters, adding a thematic layer to the resource management aspect of the game. When a creature token you control dies, if it is represented by food, you eat it, continuing the cycle of token generation and resource conversion. This interplay between token creation and food consumption creates a distinctive gameplay loop that appeals to collectors who appreciate clever design mechanics. The card’s flavor text, "They all thought her dream was just pie in the sky," adds a humorous narrative touch that complements the whimsical nature of the card’s function. Designed by Victor Adame Minguez, the Thopter Pie Network card is a sought-after piece for Magic: The Gathering collectors and players alike. Its mythic rare status and foil finish make it a standout addition to any collection, particularly for those who enjoy completing sets or building themed collections around specific mechanics or artists. The card’s unique combination of flavor, mechanics, and visual appeal ensures it remains a memorable part of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game experience.
