Scourge of Valkas

Description

The Scourge of Valkas, card number 145 in the 2017 Iconic Masters set, is a formidable five-mana Dragon creature that has long been a cornerstone for aggressive strategies in Magic: The Gathering. Printed with a foil finish by artist Lucas Graciano, this rare card captures the raw power of the color red through its ability to scale damage output based on the board state. Whenever Scourge of Valkas or another Dragon you control enters the battlefield, it deals damage equal to the number of Dragons you control to any target. This synergistic effect makes it particularly potent in Dragon tribal decks, where the more allies you summon, the greater the threat it poses to opponents. Additionally, the card offers a flexible combat trick, allowing you to pay one red mana to boost its power by one until end of turn. For those building collections or seeking powerful additions to their Commander or Modern pools, this foil version from Iconic Masters stands out. The bold red aesthetic and the card’s aggressive play style resonate with players who enjoy dynamic, board-swinging gameplay. Whether you are completing a set of rare foils or looking for a reliable finisher in your Dragon deck, this card delivers both mechanical depth and collectible appeal. It remains a respected name in the Magic: The Gathering community, symbolizing the power of synergy and the enduring legacy of the Dragon subtype.
