Deepfathom Skulker

Description

The Deepfathom Skulker foil promo card from Magic: The Gathering’s Magic Online Promos set (2017) is a distinct collectible for enthusiasts of the trading card game. Identified by card number 59663, this Rare creature belongs to the Eldrazi type and carries a mana cost of {5}{U} with a mana value of 6. The Devoid keyword indicates that despite its blue mana cost, the card has no color identity, allowing it to enter the battlefield without relying on blue sources. In gameplay, the card functions as a 4/4 creature with two primary abilities. When a creature you control deals combat damage to a player, you may draw a card, providing resource advantage through aggressive play. Additionally, paying {3}{C} allows you to target a creature and prevent it from being blocked this turn, offering tactical flexibility during attacks. The card was illustrated by Raymond Swanland, whose artwork defines the visual presentation of this release. The foil finish distinguishes this Magic Online Promo from standard non-promotional prints. The Magic Online Promos set was distributed through the digital platform, making physical copies of this release particularly relevant for collectors who value tangible assets from digital initiatives. Understanding the specific rules text and mechanical interactions of Deepfathom Skulker enhances its appeal as a collectible item. Its rules text allows you to draw a card whenever a creature you control deals combat damage to a player, and to pay {3}{C} to prevent a target creature from being blocked this turn. This card is part of the 2017 Magic Online Promos set.
