Ogre-Head Helm

Description

The Ogre-Head Helm foil promo card, identified by catalog number 97981, arrives as a distinctive piece from Magic: The Gathering's 2022 Magic Online Promos set. Released under the PRM set code, this Rare card features a premium foil finish that enhances its visual appeal for collectors who appreciate the tactile and aesthetic qualities of high-quality card printing. Designed by artist Viko Menezes, the card presents a unique hybrid identity as both an Artifact Creature and an Equipment, a duality that defines its strategic versatility within the game. As an Equipment Ogre, Ogre-Head Helm offers immediate board presence with a mana cost of {1}{R} and a mana value of 2. It enters the battlefield with 2 power and 2 toughness, providing a solid early-game threat. Its primary mechanical strength lies in its ability to equip other creatures, granting them +2/+2 to boost their combat damage potential. This makes it a flexible tool for various deck strategies, allowing players to enhance their existing threats without taking up additional mana in subsequent turns. The card’s most compelling feature is its sacrifice mechanic. Whenever the equipped creature or the Ogre-Head Helm itself deals combat damage to a player, the owner may choose to sacrifice it. If they do, they discard their entire hand and then draw three cards. This engine creates a powerful swing in card advantage, trading immediate board presence for long-term resource acceleration. Additionally, the card includes the Reconfigure ability, costing {3} to attach to a target creature or unattach from one. This sorcery-speed flexibility ensures that the Ogre-Head Helm remains relevant even after it has been sacrificed, allowing players to reattach it to a new threat if the original is removed. For collectors of Magic: The Gathering trading cards, this promo represents a sought-after piece of the 2022 online promotional releases. Its unique hybrid type line, combined with the engaging reconfigure and sacrifice mechanics, makes it a memorable addition to any collection. The foil treatment further elevates its status, making it a standout item for enthusiasts who value both gameplay utility and collector-grade presentation.
