Ebony Rhino

Description

The Ebony Rhino, designated as card number 106 in the Homelands expansion, represents a distinct era of Magic: The Gathering design from 1995. Issued by Wizards of the Coast, this card introduces a unique mechanical twist to the artifact subtype, allowing players to deploy a powerful creature without paying traditional mana costs for its type. Designed by artist Amy Weber, the Ebony Rhino functions as a formidable presence on the battlefield. With a mana cost of seven and a power/toughness of 4/5, it demands significant resource investment but delivers substantial impact. Its ability to trample ensures that excess damage reaches the opponent, making it a strategic threat in constructed formats. This card is particularly notable for its flavor text, which adds narrative depth to the artifact's existence within the game's lore. The Ebony Rhino stands out among artifact creatures for its specific rules interaction and thematic consistency. For investors and hobbyists alike, maintaining a complete set of Homelands cards provides a tangible connection to Magic's evolution during the mid-90s. Whether you are a veteran player or new to the hobby, acquiring this card adds depth to any Magic: The Gathering archive.
