Preacher

Description

The Preacher foil card, identified by number 23950, is a distinct release from the 2014 Magic Online Promos series. This Rare creature belongs to the white mana color identity and features the Human Cleric type line. Artwork for this card was created by Quinton Hoover, adding visual depth to its mechanical presence in the game. As a foil variant, the card offers a textured finish that distinguishes it from standard prints, appealing to collectors who value presentation alongside gameplay utility. Mechanically, the Preacher provides an interesting strategic layer for players. With a mana cost of {1}{W}{W} and a mana value of 3, it enters the battlefield as a 1/1 creature. Its primary ability allows the controller to choose not to untap it during their untap step. Once tapped, it offers a powerful effect: for as long as the Preacher remains tapped, the controller gains control of a target creature from an opponent, chosen by that opponent. This creates a dynamic risk-reward scenario, making the card a notable piece for those interested in unique interaction mechanics within the Magic: The Gathering trading card game ecosystem. Collectors often seek out Magic Online Promos cards for their historical significance and unique distribution methods. The 2014 set represents a specific era in the game's digital-to-physical crossover history. Owning this card allows enthusiasts to explore a piece of the game's promotional landscape. Whether for display or potential deck construction, the Preacher stands out due to its unconventional control effect and foil treatment.
