Description
The Identity Thief card from the 2016 Magic Online Promos set offers collectors a distinct glimpse into Magic: The Gathering's digital distribution history. Printed as a rare foil with card number 61559, this blue Shapeshifter creature stands out for its clever gameplay mechanics rather than just its finish. Designed by Dan Murayama Scott, the card represents a specific era where Wizards of the Coast utilized promotional items to engage the online community. For TCG enthusiasts, this piece is notable for its strategic design. The card allows players to exile a target nontoken creature and assume its form until the end of the turn, returning the original card to the battlefield shortly after. This unique interaction makes it a memorable addition to any Magic: The Gathering collection, particularly for those interested in the game's promo history. Whether you are building a themed deck or simply appreciating the art of card design, this promo remains a significant entry in the 2016 release timeline.
