Old-Growth Troll

Description

The 2021 Magic Online Promos Old-Growth Troll is a notable addition for collectors of Magic: The Gathering trading card game cards. Identified by card number 88338, this foil release brings a distinct aesthetic to the set while maintaining the functional depth expected from a rare card. The card is classified as a Creature — Troll Warrior with a mana value of three, requiring three green mana to cast. Its base power and toughness are established at 4/4, offering a solid presence on the battlefield from the moment it enters play. Beyond its physical foil finish, the card’s gameplay mechanics offer a unique strategic layer that appeals to players and collectors alike. The Old-Growth Troll possesses the trample ability, allowing excess damage to reach the opponent if blocked. However, its true distinction lies in its death trigger. When this creature leaves the battlefield, it does not simply go to the graveyard. Instead, it returns as an Aura enchantment attached to a Forest you control. This transformed state grants the enchanted land two powerful abilities: it can produce two green mana, and it can be sacrificed to create a tapped 4/4 green Troll Warrior creature token with trample. This dual nature allows the card to function as both a creature and a resource generator depending on the flow of the game. Art by Jesper Ejsing, this card represents a specific era of promotional releases within the Magic Online ecosystem. Collectors often seek out these promo cards for their unique distribution methods and the specific design treatments they offer, such as the foil finish found here. The combination of Jesper Ejsing’s artistic contribution and the card’s innovative rules text makes it a compelling piece for those building a collection of Magic Online Promos cards. Whether you are interested in the mechanical complexity or the visual appeal of the foil treatment, the Old-Growth Troll stands as a memorable entry in the 2021 promotional lineup.
