Obosh, the Preypiercer (Card Number 357) is a significant release from the 2020 Magic: The Gathering expansion, Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths. Designed for the collector who appreciates unique gameplay mechanics, this card introduces the Companion ability, allowing players to start their deck with a specific restriction in exchange for powerful in-game utility. As a Rare card, it holds a distinct place within the set's hierarchy, appealing to those who seek out high-impact legendary creatures. The card’s design centers on its dual black and red mana identity, casting as a 3/5 Legendary Creature with a mana value of five. Its primary rules text offers a flexible strategic option: by choosing Obosh as your companion, you may put it into your hand from outside the game for three mana as a sorcery, provided your deck consists only of cards with odd mana values and land cards. This mechanic encourages creative deck construction and adds a layer of depth to the gameplay experience that resonates with dedicated Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts. For collectors, Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths represents a pivotal era in the trading card game's history, known for its thematic focus on giant monsters and wild environments. Obosh, the Preypiercer embodies this spirit through its classification as a Hellion Horror.

Companion — Your starting deck contains only cards with odd mana values and land cards. (If this card is your chosen companion, you may put it into your hand from outside the game for {3} as a sorcery.) If a source you control with an odd mana value would deal damage to a permanent or player, it deals double that damage to that permanent or player instead.
