Dockside Extortionist

Description

The Dockside Extortionist card, identified by catalog number 102267, is a 2022 release from the Magic Online Promos subset of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. As a foil Mythic Rare creature, this Goblin Pirate brings a distinct mechanical identity to the collector's shelf. Illustrated by Douglas Shuler, the card captures the essence of its subject within the broader context of the game's diverse card pool. Mechanically, the Dockside Extortionist operates with a mana cost of one generic mana and one red mana, resulting in a mana value of two. This efficient cost allows for early gameplay integration, fitting into red-aligned decks that prioritize aggressive or resource-generating strategies. Upon entering the battlefield, the creature triggers a powerful effect: it creates a number of Treasure tokens equal to the total artifacts and enchantments controlled by opponents. These Treasure tokens are versatile artifacts that can be sacrificed to add one mana of any color, offering significant flexibility in resource management and spell casting. This release stands out due to its foil finish and Mythic Rare designation, which denote a higher tier of production quality and scarcity within the set. The card’s ability to convert opponent resources into personal advantage makes it a memorable piece for enthusiasts of the game's strategic depth. Whether building a collection based on creature types, color identity, or promotional exclusivity, the Dockside Extortionist offers a tangible connection to the game's evolving landscape. The combination of Douglas Shuler’s artwork, the card’s unique rules text, and its foil treatment makes this product a noteworthy addition for any serious Magic: The Gathering aficionado.
