Hangar Scrounger

Description

Identified as card number 142 in the MOM set code, this Common rarity card features a premium foil finish that appeals to collectors seeking aesthetic distinction within the standard print run. The card depicts a Dwarf Pilot creature, bringing a unique character archetype to the collection that bridges thematic storytelling with mechanical utility. Designed by artist Borja Pindado, the card’s visual presentation complements its strategic depth. Hangar Scrounger operates with a mana cost of {2}{R} and a mana value of 3, fitting into red-based decks that emphasize aggressive or mid-range strategies. Its primary mechanic, Backup 1, allows players to place a +1/+1 counter on a target creature when it enters the battlefield. If the target is another creature, it gains an additional ability until the end of the turn, enhancing board presence and synergy. The creature’s secondary ability triggers whenever it becomes tapped, offering a resource advantage. By discarding a card, players can draw a new card, effectively cycling through their hand to maintain momentum. This interplay between board impact and card advantage makes Hangar Scrounger a versatile addition to any Magic: The Gathering collection. For enthusiasts of the March of the Machine era, acquiring the foil version of card 142 provides a tangible piece of this pivotal set, combining collectible value with engaging gameplay mechanics. Whether building a themed collection or preparing for casual play, this card represents a key element of the 2023 release.
