Description
Gyruda, Doom of Depths, card number 221 in the Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths expansion, represents a pivotal design era for Magic: The Gathering released in 2020. This rare card introduces the Companion mechanic, allowing players to include it in their starting deck only if all other cards have even mana values. Once selected, it can be put into hand from outside the game for a specific cost, offering strategic flexibility. When played, Gyruda forces each player to mill four cards, enabling the controller to retrieve a creature with an even mana value directly onto the battlefield. This unique interaction makes it a favorite among collectors who appreciate complex game mechanics and strategic depth. For Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts, acquiring cards from this expansion adds depth to any collection, whether for gameplay innovation or catalog completion. The release of Ikoria continues to influence how players approach deck construction and companion strategies.
