Description

Runebound Wolf, identified as card number 443, is a creature card from the 2022 Magic: The Gathering Innistrad: Double Feature set. Produced by Wizards of the Coast, this card features a mana cost of {1}{R} and possesses a mana value of 2. As a red creature, it enters the battlefield with a power and toughness of 2/2, fitting into the Wolf subtype within the game's creature ecosystem.
