Description

The 86192 card from the 2020 Magic Online Promos set features Nekusar, the Mindrazer, a legendary Zombie Wizard creature in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. This Mythic Rare card carries a mana cost of {2}{U}{B}{R} and possesses a power and toughness of 2/4. The artwork for this release was created by Mark Winters, whose design contributes to the distinct visual identity of the promo series. Nekusar, the Mindrazer operates as a multi-colored threat, requiring Blue, Black, and Red mana to cast. Its primary effect influences the game state during the beginning of each player's draw step. Specifically, when a player begins their draw step, they draw an additional card. Simultaneously, whenever an opponent draws a card, Nekusar deals 1 damage to that player. This mechanic creates a dynamic interaction where card advantage comes with a significant life total cost for opponents. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering often target promo cards like this one for their specific distribution history and rarity within the Magic Online Promos subset. As a Mythic Rare designation, this card holds a higher tier of rarity compared to standard base set releases. The card number 86192 places it within the specific cataloging system used for these promotional items. Understanding the rules text and mana requirements is essential for evaluating the card's role in various deck strategies. The combination of its legendary status, zombie wizard subtype, and aggressive draw-based effect makes it a notable entry for enthusiasts of the format.
