Swooping Pteranodon

Description

The Swooping Pteranodon stands as a striking inclusion in the 2023 Magic: The Gathering Jurassic World Collection, designated as card number 19. Crafted by artist Slawomir Maniak, this Rare foil card captures the essence of prehistoric terror within the framework of the TCG. As a five-mana Creature — Dinosaur with the colors red and white, it commands attention in any collection focused on the Jurassic World theme. Beyond its visual appeal, the card offers distinct gameplay potential. It possesses both Flying and Haste, allowing it to impact the board immediately upon entering play. Its ability triggers whenever it or another Dinosaur you control with Flying enters the battlefield, enabling you to gain control of a target creature an opponent controls until the end of turn.

This mechanic creates dynamic board states, making it a compelling piece for enthusiasts of the Jurassic World Collection. For collectors, the foil finish adds significant value and visual depth to the card. The Jurassic World Collection has become a notable set for fans of both Magic: The Gathering and the cinematic franchise. Owning a rare foil like the Swooping Pteranodon provides a tangible connection to this crossover event. Whether you are building a thematic deck or assembling a comprehensive set of Jurassic World cards, this creature serves as a powerful addition.
