Description

Identified by card number 32202, this foil promo features the Merfolk Spellshaper creature type, offering a unique piece for enthusiasts of the game's lore and mechanics. The card's rarity is classified as Rare, distinguishing it from common base-set releases within the promotional series. Overtaker functions as a low-cost creature with a mana cost of {1}{U} and a mana value of 2. Its type line specifies it as a Creature — Merfolk Spellshaper, with a power and toughness of 1/1. While its stats are modest, the card's true value lies in its activated ability. By paying {3}{U}, tapping the card, and discarding a card, a player can untap a target creature and gain control of it until the end of the turn. Additionally, that creature gains haste, allowing it to attack or use abilities immediately. This mechanic allows for strategic disruption and board control, making it a functional asset in gameplay scenarios where card advantage and tempo are critical. The artwork for Overtaker is credited to artist Clyde Caldwell, whose style contributes to the visual identity of this promotional release. The foil finish distinguishes this Magic Online Promo card.
