Merfolk Branchwalker

Description

Merfolk Branchwalker costs {1}{G} to cast and enters the battlefield with a 2/1 power and toughness.

This dual-purpose ability makes the card a flexible tool for deck builders looking to stabilize their early game or boost their creature's stats. For collectors, the foil finish of this uncommon card adds a layer of visual interest that enhances its display value. Whether you are building a themed Merfolk deck, seeking to complete your Ixalan collection, or simply appreciate the artistry of Kieran Yanner, this card offers significant collector value. As a staple of the Ixalan era, this card remains a sought-after item for those who value both gameplay utility and collectible beauty.
