Nethroi, Apex of Death

Description

The 2020 Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths Promos release includes the Nethroi, Apex of Death promotional card, designated as card number 197s. This Magic: The Gathering trading card game card is printed as a Mythic Rare with a foil finish, featuring art by Slawomir Maniak. As a legendary creature of the Cat, Nightmare, and Beast types, Nethroi brings a distinct presence to the battlefield with a mana cost of {2}{W}{B}{G} and a power/toughness of 5/5. The card’s gameplay revolves around the mutate mechanic, allowing players to cast it for {4}{G/W}{B}{B} to place it over or under a target non-Human creature they control. When mutated, the creatures combine into a single entity that retains the top card’s type while gaining all abilities from the cards underneath. Nethroi possesses both deathtouch and lifelink, providing immediate defensive and offensive value. Its primary ability triggers whenever the creature mutates, enabling the player to return any number of target creature cards with a combined total power of 10 or less from their graveyard to the battlefield. This effect makes the card a powerful engine for graveyard recursion, particularly in decks built around reanimating small creatures. This 2020 Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths Promo card is a Mythic Rare foil featuring Nethroi, Apex of Death. The foil treatment and mythic rarity designation make it a desirable addition to any library or collection. Whether for competitive play or casual enjoyment, Nethroi, Apex of Death offers strategic depth through its mutate ability and graveyard synergy. The card is a Legendary Creature — Cat Nightmare Beast with a mana cost of {2}{W}{B}{G} and power/toughness of 5/5. For those interested in the lore of the world of Ikoria, Nethroi stands as an apex predator, fitting the theme of the set's behemoths.
