Description

Gonti, Lord of Luxury is a Legendary Creature — Aetherborn Rogue from the Magic: The Gathering Kaladesh Promos set, issued in 2020. Identified by card number 84p and the set code PKLD, this Rare promo card carries a mana cost of {2}{B}{B} and boasts a mana value of 4. As a single-black mana creature with a power and toughness of 2/3, Gonti brings strategic depth to gameplay through its distinct abilities. The card features the keyword Deathtouch, ensuring that any amount of damage dealt by this creature is enough to destroy a blocking creature. Beyond combat, Gonti offers significant advantage through its triggered ability: when it enters the battlefield, the controller looks at the top four cards of a target opponent's library, exiles one face down, and puts the remainder on the bottom in a random order. The most compelling aspect of this card is the permission to cast the exiled card for as long as it remains exiled, with mana of any type allowed to pay its cost. This flexibility allows players to access spells that might otherwise be difficult to cast, making Gonti a versatile tool in the hands of skilled players. The artistic direction by Daarken complements the card’s thematic role within the Kaladesh block's universe. Collectors value this card for its unique mechanics and its status as a promotional release from a highly regarded expansion. Its ability to disrupt an opponent's resources while providing potential value makes it a memorable addition to any Magic: The Gathering collection. Whether used in casual play or competitive formats, this card offers a blend of control and value that resonates with enthusiasts of the trading card game.
