Description
Hightide Hermit, card number 51 in the 2016 Kaladesh expansion, stands out as a unique creature option for Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts. With a mana value of five and stats of 4/4, it brings significant board presence to any deck. The card’s primary appeal lies in its innovative mechanics, which allow players to gain four energy counters upon entering the battlefield.

This dynamic makes it a versatile addition for collectors who appreciate strategic depth in their cards. For those building their Kaladesh collection, this foil version adds visual flair while maintaining the set's core identity. The blue color identity ensures it fits seamlessly into blue-based strategies, offering both aesthetic and functional value. Whether you are drawn to the intricate foil treatment or the clever energy mechanic, this card represents a solid piece of Magic history. Its straightforward design and impactful rules text make it a favorite among players who enjoy resource management and tactical flexibility.
