Description
Identity Thief is a foil card from the 2016 Magic Online Promos set, identified by card number 61559 in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. As a blue Shapeshifter with mana value 4, this creature card brings a unique interactive element to gameplay through its versatile ability. The card's design features a foil finish that catches the light, adding visual appeal to any collection of Magic: The Gathering cards. The card's primary ability allows it to mimic other creatures on the battlefield. When Identity Thief attacks, the controller may choose to exile a target nontoken creature. If they do, Identity Thief transforms into an exact copy of that creature until the end of the turn. This mechanic creates exciting moments of adaptation and surprise during matches. At the beginning of the next end step, the exiled card returns to the battlefield under its original owner's control, ensuring fair play while maintaining strategic depth. Artwork for this card was created by Dan Murayama Scott, whose illustration complements the card's shapeshifting theme. The 0/3 power and toughness stats make it a fragile but impactful presence on the battlefield, requiring careful timing and targeting to maximize its potential. Collectors appreciate this card for its clever mechanics and the distinctive foil treatment that sets it apart from standard prints. For Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts, Identity Thief represents a fascinating example of game design that rewards creativity and adaptability. Its presence in the Magic Online Promos set highlights the innovative spirit of the game's promotional releases. Whether you are building a competitive deck or simply expanding your collection, this card offers both aesthetic and mechanical value. The combination of its unique ability and foil finish makes it a standout piece for any Magic: The Gathering catalog. The Identity Thief foil card continues to be a sought-after piece for those who appreciate the strategic depth and artistic quality of the game's promotional releases.
