Red Ghost, Intangible Genius

Description

This legendary Human Scientist Villain is defined by its dual blue and red mana identity, requiring a mana cost of two generic, one blue, and one red mana to cast. With a mana value of four, the card serves as a mid-game threat that utilizes its unique abilities to control the board state. The creature enters play with a power and toughness of two and three, making it a resilient presence that demands strategic removal or careful maneuvering. Red Ghost, Intangible Genius features a suite of abilities that reward card advantage and aggressive token deployment. The card possesses Ward two, a mechanic that forces opponents to pay an additional cost to target it with spells or abilities, providing a layer of protection against direct interaction. Furthermore, the creature cannot be blocked by opposing creatures, ensuring that it can deal damage to the defending player unless they have specific countermeasures in play. This unblockable trait is particularly valuable in Commander games where life total is the primary win condition. The card’s most potent ability triggers whenever you draw your second card each turn. Upon this trigger, you create a 3/3 red Ape Villain creature token with haste. This ability allows Red Ghost to generate immediate board presence and pressure, scaling effectively in games where players draw multiple cards. The flavor text, "To me, my Super Apes!", underscores the character's role as a mastermind commanding a legion of minions. For collectors of the Marvel Super Heroes subset, this card represents a distinct intersection of popular culture and complex gameplay mechanics.
