Human Torch, Johnny Storm

Description

This Uncommon foil card features the distinctive finish characteristic of the Marvel Super Heroes set, offering collectors a visually striking addition to their library. The card is illustrated by Alexander Skripnikov, whose artistic style defines the visual identity of this crossover expansion. From a gameplay perspective, Human Torch, Johnny Storm is a Legendary Creature — Human Hero with a mana cost of {2}{R} and a mana value of 3. He possesses 2 power and 2 toughness, but his true value lies in his dynamic abilities. The card features the Flying ability, allowing it to bypass ground blockers effectively. Additionally, it includes a trigger effect that activates whenever you draw a card; if you control another Hero, Human Torch deals 1 damage to a target opponent. This synergy with other Hero-type creatures makes it a compelling piece for decks built around the Hero archetype. The card also boasts a powerful Power-up ability that costs {6}{R}. This ability allows you to place three +1/+1 counters on Human Torch, significantly boosting its combat strength. To maintain balance, this ability can only be activated once per game. However, if the card entered the battlefield during the current turn, the activation cost is reduced by its mana cost, offering a strategic advantage for early-game deployments. This mechanic encourages players to manage their mana carefully while rewarding aggressive plays. Collectors and players alike appreciate the blend of Marvel lore and intricate Magic: The Gathering rules text found in this product.
