Description
The Xathrid Gorgon (118★) from the Magic 2013 Promos set stands as a formidable presence in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Released in 2012, this rare card utilizes a striking star foil treatment that appeals to collectors seeking distinctive parallels within the PM13 subset. Designed by Wesley Burt, the card represents a classic blue-black creature archetype that has maintained relevance among players and completists alike. For those building collections, this card is notable for its strategic depth rather than just its visual appeal. The Xathrid Gorgon commands attention with its Deathtouch ability, ensuring that any damage it deals is sufficient to destroy opposing creatures. Furthermore, its activated ability allows players to impose a petrification counter, effectively neutralizing target threats by turning them into colorless artifacts with defender and disabling their abilities. This combination of offensive pressure and defensive control makes the card a valuable addition to any comprehensive Magic: The Gathering collection, bridging the gap between competitive play and high-end collecting.
