Description
Phantom Nishoba stands out as one of the most mechanically unique creatures in the 2002 Judgment set. As a Rare card numbered 140, this foil print features a Cat Beast Spirit with a mana cost of five generic, one green, and one white. The gameplay for this card is distinct. It enters the battlefield with seven +1/+1 counters, giving it a massive initial presence despite its 0/0 base stats. Its abilities include Trample, life gain equal to damage dealt, and a protective trigger that prevents damage by removing a counter. This combination of resilience and offensive power has made Phantom Nishoba a notable piece of Magic history. Collectors often seek the foil version for its shimmering finish, which adds to its appeal in the secondary market. Whether you are building a vintage collection or looking to complete the Judgment set, this card offers a blend of aesthetic beauty and functional design.
