Kediss, Emberclaw Familiar

Description

The 2020 Magic Online Promos release features Kediss, Emberclaw Familiar as card number 86252, a foil-printed legendary creature designed for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. This card depicts an Elemental Lizard with a mana cost of {1}{R} and a mana value of 2, classified as an Uncommon rarity within the promo subset. The card is distinguished by its foil finish and the artistic contributions of Jesper Ejsing, who rendered the creature for this promotional distribution. Kediss, Emberclaw Familiar operates as a Legendary Creature with the Partner mechanic, allowing it to serve as a commander alongside another partner-equipped card in constructed formats. The card’s rules text creates a unique combat dynamic: whenever a commander you control deals combat damage to an opponent, it deals that same amount of damage to each other opponent. This effect applies to all opponents simultaneously, making it a notable choice for multiplayer gameplay where commander damage is a primary win condition. The card’s power and toughness are both 1, reflecting its role as a support piece rather than a direct attacker. Collectors of Magic Online Promos cards often target this release to complete their sets of promotional items from the 2020 distribution period. The card’s status as a foil promo adds to its visual distinctiveness, setting it apart from standard print runs. For players building commander decks, the Partner mechanic offers strategic flexibility, enabling synergies between commanders that share this ability. The card’s design and rules text make it a functional and collectible piece for enthusiasts of the Magic: The Gathering format. Its inclusion in the Magic Online Promos set highlights the game’s ongoing engagement with its digital community, offering tangible collectibles that reflect specific promotional events and distributions.
