Description
The Nantuko Shaman, card number 176 from the 2017 Iconic Masters set, stands as a notable inclusion for Magic: The Gathering collectors and players alike. Printed as a Common with a foil finish, this card offers a distinct tactile experience that appeals to those who appreciate the visual depth of foil treatments in TCG cards. The card features artwork by Daren Bader, adding to its aesthetic value within the IMA subset. From a gameplay perspective, Nantuko Shaman is a green Creature — Insect Shaman with a mana cost of {2}{G} and a power/toughness of 3/2. Its primary appeal lies in its versatile Suspend ability. Rather than casting the card directly from hand, players can pay {2}{G}{G} to exile it with a time counter. As turns progress, counters are removed until the card can be cast for free with haste, providing a delayed but impactful board presence. Additionally, the card features an enter-the-battlefield trigger that allows you to draw a card if you control no tapped lands, offering resource advantage in the early game. The foil version of Nantuko Shaman serves as an excellent addition to any themed collection or as a functional piece for deck builders looking to incorporate Suspend strategies. The combination of its strategic utility, foil finish, and place within a historic set makes it a compelling item for enthusiasts of the game.
