Fiend Artisan

Description

Fiend Artisan, card number 350 from the 2020 Magic: The Gathering set Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths, stands as a formidable presence in the Commander format. This foil mythic rare card features the distinct artistic vision of Yigit Koroglu, bringing the creature to life with a shimmering finish that appeals to collectors of premium print runs. As a two-mana Creature — Nightmare, Fiend Artisan offers immediate board presence with a 1/1 power and toughness. Its primary strength lies in its scalable ability: it gains +1/+1 for each creature card in your graveyard. This mechanic encourages players to build decks that strategically fill the graveyard, turning discarded cards into a growing offensive threat. The card's flexibility is further enhanced by its activated ability, which allows you to sacrifice another creature to search your library for a creature with mana value X or less and put it directly onto the battlefield. This sorcery-speed effect provides crucial recursion and card advantage, making it a valuable asset in long games. The foil treatment of this mythic rare adds a layer of visual distinction, making it a standout addition to any Magic: The Gathering trading card collection. Whether you are building a graveyard-centric deck or simply seeking high-quality cards from a pivotal Magic era, Fiend Artisan represents a key piece of the Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths expansion.
