Hiveheart Shaman

Description

The Hiveheart Shaman stands as a formidable presence in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, specifically within the 2021 Innistrad: Crimson Vow expansion. As a rare creature card numbered 390, this foil edition offers collectors a distinct finish that enhances its visual appeal within any organized collection. Designed by artist Eric Deschamps, the card captures the essence of the Innistrad plane’s gothic aesthetic through its detailed illustration and premium foil treatment. Gameplay-wise, Hiveheart Shaman is a green Human Shaman with a mana cost of three generic and one green mana, resulting in a mana value of four. Its power and toughness are listed as three over five, making it a durable defender on the battlefield. The card’s primary ability allows the controller to search their library for a basic land card that does not share a land type with any land they currently control, placing it directly onto the battlefield before shuffling. This flexibility is crucial for maintaining a stable mana base during intense games. Additionally, the Shaman offers a powerful activated ability requiring five generic and one green mana. When activated, it creates a 1/1 green Insect creature token with +1/+1 counters equal to the number of basic land types among the controller’s lands. This synergy with land diversity makes the card a valuable asset in various deck strategies. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering often seek out specific cards like Hiveheart Shaman to complete sets or to appreciate the intricate design elements of the Innistrad: Crimson Vow series. The foil variant adds an extra layer of desirability, distinguishing it from non-foil prints and making it a standout piece for enthusiasts who value both gameplay utility and aesthetic quality in their trading card game collections.
