Phyrexian Delver

Description

The Phyrexian Delver card, numbered 115 in the 2000 Invasion expansion, stands as a significant piece of Magic: The Gathering history for collectors and players alike. As a rare foil card, it showcases the distinctive finish that made the Invasion block memorable during the early 2000s era of the trading card game. This creature card, classified as a Phyrexian Zombie, possesses a mana cost of three generic mana and two black mana, resulting in a mana value of five. Its power and toughness are rated at 3 and 2, respectively. The card’s most notable feature is its triggered ability: when Phyrexian Delver enters the battlefield, players can return a target creature card from their graveyard to the battlefield. This effect comes with a cost, as the player controlling the Delver loses life equal to the mana value of the returned creature. This mechanic creates strategic depth, allowing for powerful comebacks at the expense of life total. The foil treatment adds a layer of visual distinction, making it a sought-after addition for those completing the Invasion set or focusing on black mana strategies. Whether you are building a zombie-themed deck or simply appreciate the art and lore of the Phyrexian faction, the Phyrexian Delver foil offers a compelling blend of history and gameplay utility. Its place in the 2000 Invasion set cements its status as a classic collectible for any Magic: The Gathering enthusiast looking to expand their collection with a piece of gaming history.
