The Merfolk Looter is a 2009 release from the Magic 2010 set, designated as Card #61 in the base checklist. Classified as a Common rarity card, it features the type line Creature — Merfolk Rogue and carries a mana cost of {1}{U}.

By tapping the creature, players can draw a card and then discard a card from their hand. This exchange allows for card selection and resource management within the game. The flavor text notes that merfolk do not always know what they are looking for, but they are certain once they find it, adding narrative context to the character's actions.

Artists like Austin Hsu contributed to the visual design of cards in this era, though the specific illustration details are secondary to the card's mechanical role. Printed as a Common, the card features the ability to draw a card and then discard a card. The card's straightforward design and accessible rarity make it a staple in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game ecosystem. Whether acquired for nostalgic value or gameplay utility, the Merfolk Looter remains a recognizable element of the M10 expansion.
