Alhammarret, High Arbiter

Description

Alhammarret, High Arbiter (Card Number 43s) is a foil promo card released in 2015 as part of the Magic Origins Promos set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Designed by artist Richard Wright, this legendary creature belongs to the Sphinx subtype and carries a mana cost of {5}{U}{U} with a mana value of 7. The card features a standard layout with a power and toughness of 5/5. The gameplay mechanics define its strategic value. As a creature with flying, Alhammarret can bypass ground-based blockers. Upon entering the battlefield, it triggers an effect where each opponent reveals their hand. The controller then chooses the name of a nonland card revealed during this process. For the duration that Alhammarret remains on the battlefield, opponents are unable to cast spells with the chosen name. This interaction provides a targeted form of disruption, allowing players to restrict specific strategies based on their opponents' current resources. As a rare foil promo, this card holds appeal for collectors who focus on the Magic Origins era or seek unique promotional variants. The foil finish adds a visual distinction to the card, making it a notable addition to any collection of Magic: The Gathering cards. Collectors often appreciate the specific card number and set code (PORI) for cataloging purposes. The combination of its legendary status, specific mana cost, and unique rules text makes Alhammarret, High Arbiter a distinct entity within the 2015 promotional releases.
