Gloomfang Mauler

Description

Gloomfang Mauler, numbered 108 in the March of the Machine expansion, is a formidable seven-mana Nightmare creature that entered the Magic: The Gathering universe in 2023. Designed by Denis Zhbankov, this common black card offers strategic versatility through its Backup ability and Swampcycling cost. When played, Backup 2 allows you to place two +1/+1 counters on a target creature, granting it a temporary ability if it is another creature on the battlefield. This mechanic provides flexible board presence and tactical depth for black-aligned decks. The card's mana cost of {5}{B}{B} and 5/5 power and toughness make it a significant presence, while Swampcycling {2} ensures you can discard it to search your library for a basic Swamp, improving your mana base and hand consistency. Collectors and players appreciate Gloomfang Mauler for its efficient removal potential and its role in constructing cohesive black strategies. As a staple in the March of the Machine set, this card continues to be a relevant choice for those building competitive or casual Magic: The Gathering trading card game decks. Its design and mechanics reflect the high-quality standards of the product line, making it a valuable addition to any collection focused on modern Magic expansions.
