Timberland Guide

Description

The Timberland Guide serves as a versatile two-mana creature in the Magic: The Gathering Innistrad: Double Feature set. Released in 2022, this card carries the card number 202 and is classified as a Common rarity. As a Creature — Human Scout, it enters the battlefield with a mana value of two, requiring one green mana in its casting cost. The card’s primary utility lies in its enter-the-battlefield trigger, which allows the player to place a +1/+1 counter on any target creature. This flexibility makes it a supportive piece for various strategies that benefit from boosting existing permanents rather than relying on aggressive stats alone. Art by Zoltan Boros, the card’s flavor text offers a darkly humorous look at the Innistrad setting: "Hiring an experienced wilderness guide isn't cheap, but it costs less than a search party. Or a funeral." Collectors often appreciate the thematic consistency this card brings to the Innistrad: Double Feature product line, which reimagines classic cards with new art while retaining familiar mechanics. The Timberland Guide’s straightforward design and functional text make it a reliable addition to any collection focused on creature synergies or counter-based strategies. Its presence in the set highlights the ongoing evolution of Magic: The Gathering’s card pool, appealing to both new players and seasoned enthusiasts who value efficient mana curves. Whether building a deck or simply completing a set, this card represents a solid example of the game’s enduring appeal.
