Wildfire Eternal

Description

Released in 2017 as part of the Hour of Devastation expansion, Wildfire Eternal (card #109) is a notable Rare creature in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. This card depicts a Zombie Jackal Cleric with a mana cost of {3}{R} and a power/toughness of 1/4. Designed by Magali Villeneuve, the card is recognized for its distinct gameplay mechanics that offer strategic depth to collectors and players alike. The card features Afflict 4, which causes the defending player to lose 4 life whenever the creature becomes blocked. Additionally, it offers a unique offensive capability: when Wildfire Eternal attacks and remains unblocked, the owner may cast an instant or sorcery spell from their hand without paying its mana cost. This dual-effect design makes it a memorable piece for enthusiasts of the Red mana color identity. For those building their Hour of Devastation collection, Wildfire Eternal represents a key component of the set's creature roster. Its ability to provide card advantage through cost reduction appeals to collectors interested in the tactical evolution of the game during this era. Whether used for deck construction or as a standalone collectible, this card highlights the creative artistry and strategic variety present in the 2017 Magic: The Gathering releases.
