Bladecoil Serpent

Description

The Bladecoil Serpent is a 2023 Magic Online Promo card designated as Mythic Rare in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Carrying the card number 105810, this Artifact Creature — Serpent is defined by its unique mana cost of {X}{6} and a color identity spanning Blue, Black, and Red. The card was illustrated by Joshua Cairos, whose artwork brings the creature to life within the set's visual framework. The card's design centers on a modular ability system that rewards specific mana investments. When the Bladecoil Serpent enters the battlefield, its effect scales based on the colors spent to cast it. Spending two blue mana allows the player to draw a card for each instance. Allocating two black mana forces each opponent to discard a card. Conversely, investing two red mana grants the creature +1/+0 and grants it both trample and haste until the end of the turn. This structure allows the card to serve multiple strategic roles depending on the caster's mana base. The combination of the Mythic Rare designation and the complex, conditional abilities makes it a distinct entry for enthusiasts of the trading card game. The card's artifact type and serpent subtype further distinguish it within the broader roster of creature cards. As a piece of the 2023 promotional landscape, it represents a specific moment in the game's digital and physical collectible history. The card's rules text provides options to draw cards, force opponents to discard, or grant +1/+0 with trample and haste depending on the mana spent.
