Description

The 2009 foil printing of Tetsuo Umezawa from Magic: The Gathering's Masters Edition III represents a distinct entry for collectors of the game's most iconic characters. As card number 179, this rare legendary Human Archer is defined by its striking multi-colored mana cost of {U}{B}{R}, requiring the player to manage resources across three different color identities to cast.

The ability to destroy tapped or blocking creatures for a specific mana cost and tap effect offers strategic depth, making it a memorable piece for enthusiasts of the game's history. The foil variant is particularly sought after by those who appreciate the tactile and visual differences that foil cards bring to a collection. Whether for completing a set of rare cards or simply admiring the design of a legendary creature, this card stands out as a notable item for any Magic: The Gathering enthusiast looking to expand their holdings with a well-known character from the game's rich lore.
