Woolly Mammoths

Description

The Woolly Mammoths card, designated as number 188 in the Masters Edition II set, represents a distinct creature archetype within the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Released in 2008, this Common rarity card brings a classic fantasy beast to the battlefield with a mana cost of three, requiring one generic mana and two Green mana. As a Creature — Elephant, it enters the game with a power and toughness of 3/2, offering a solid presence for decks focused on Green mana acceleration. The card’s primary mechanical identity revolves around the Trample keyword ability. However, this aggressive trait is conditional: Woolly Mammoths possesses Trample only as long as the controller commands at least one Snow land. This design creates an interesting strategic layer, encouraging players to build their mana base with specific Snow-producing sources to maximize the elephant's damage potential. The flavor text, attributed to Disa the Restless, adds a touch of narrative humor, noting that while mammoths are impressive mounts, falling off them is a hazardous prospect. Art by Dan Frazier, this card is a staple for enthusiasts of the Masters Edition II (ME2) subset. Collectors often seek out this card to complete their comprehensive set of the Masters Edition II series, appreciating its straightforward yet thematic design. For investors and hobbyists, it serves as an accessible entry point into the broader Magic: The Gathering ecosystem, particularly for those interested in the Elephant subtype or the Snow land synergy mechanics. The card’s enduring appeal lies in its clear rules text and its representation of the classic creature design philosophy found in the Masters Edition II release.
