Lurking Crocodile

Description

Lurking Crocodile carries the number 184 in the Magic 2012 base set, released in 2011. This Common creature card costs {2}{G} to cast and has a mana value of 3. As a green Creature with the Crocodile subtype, it enters the battlefield with base power and toughness of 2/2. The card features two distinct abilities that define its role in gameplay. Bloodthirst 1 allows the creature to enter with a +1/+1 counter if an opponent was dealt damage during the current turn. Islandwalk provides evasion, meaning this creature cannot be blocked as long as the defending player controls an Island. The card was illustrated by Donato Giancola, whose artwork is a recognizable part of the Magic 2012 product design. Collectors often acquire this card to complete the base Magic 2012 checklist or to utilize its specific mechanics in constructed formats. The Magic 2012 set remains a foundational release for players familiar with the game's core rules. The Lurking Crocodile serves as a standard component of the M12 expansion, providing consistent mechanical utility across various deck archetypes. Its green mana identity and straightforward stat line make it a familiar presence in the game's history.
