Sedgemoor Witch

Description

The Sedgemoor Witch is a distinct creature card identified by the number 90056 within the 2021 Magic Online Promos set. As a Rare card in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, this release belongs to the black mana color identity and features the type line Creature — Human Warlock. Designed by artist Igor Kieryluk, the card offers collectors a specific entry point into the promotional catalog that defines this era of digital-exclusive releases. Gameplay mechanics are central to the card's identity. The Sedgemoor Witch possesses the Menace keyword, requiring opponents to block with two or more creatures. It also includes Ward-3, a protective ability that forces opponents to pay three life to target it with spells or abilities, adding a layer of defensive strategy to the card. The most defining feature is its Magecraft trigger: whenever the controller casts or copies an instant or sorcery spell, they create a 1/1 black and green Pest creature token. This token has a death trigger that allows the player to gain one life, providing a resource engine that rewards spell-heavy decks. For collectors, the value of this card lies in its specific set origin and mechanical design rather than physical condition or grading. The Magic Online Promos series represents a unique chapter in TCG history, where cards were distributed exclusively through the digital platform. Collectors often seek out these promos to complete their digital libraries or to appreciate the unique design language that distinguishes digital exclusives from standard physical sets. The Sedgemoor Witch stands out for its efficient mana cost of three and its ability to generate board presence through its Magecraft ability, making it a notable piece for those tracking the evolution of promotional card design in Magic: The Gathering.
