Description
The 2023 Magic Online Promos release features the Terror Ballista, a distinct artifact creature card designed for strategic gameplay within the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Identified by card number 105822 in the Magic Online Promos set, this piece was illustrated by Leon Tukker and carries a rare designation that appeals to dedicated collectors. As an Artifact Creature — Construct, the Terror Ballista enters the battlefield with a mana value of seven. It possesses five power and three toughness, equipped with the menace keyword ability. This design allows the creature to require two blocking creatures to be fully stopped, adding a layer of tactical depth to its presence on the board. The card’s primary offensive capability triggers whenever it attacks, offering the controller the option to sacrifice another creature. When this sacrifice occurs, the Terror Ballista can destroy a target creature controlled by an opponent, making it a potent tool for board control in specific strategic contexts. Beyond its immediate combat utility, the card includes the unearth mechanic. This ability allows players to return the Terror Ballista from their graveyard to the battlefield by paying its unearth cost. Once returned, it gains haste, enabling immediate action. However, the card is bound by strict exile rules, leaving the battlefield at the beginning of the next end step or if it would leave the battlefield by any other means. This temporary nature creates interesting resource management decisions for players utilizing the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Collectors value the Terror Ballista for its unique combination of artifact identity, construct subtype, and versatile mechanics. The interplay between menace, sacrifice effects, and the temporary resurrection provided by unearth makes it a notable entry in the Magic Online Promos collection. Whether you are focusing on completing set collections or acquiring cards with compelling game mechanics, this 2023 release stands out as a significant component of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game landscape.
