Description
Cyclopean Tomb is a distinct artifact card numbered 195 in the 2011 Masters Edition IV set for Magic: The Gathering. This foil variant was designed by Anson Maddocks and carries a rare rarity status within the collection. As a four-mana artifact, it serves as a strategic tool for players seeking to manipulate land types during gameplay. The card’s primary function involves placing mire counters on non-Swamp lands, temporarily converting them into Swamps for the controller's use. This ability allows for flexible mana acceleration, particularly useful in decks that require specific colored mana sources. When the artifact is eventually moved to the graveyard, it triggers a lasting effect that removes mire counters from affected lands at the beginning of each of your upkeeps. This creates a persistent cycle of land manipulation that can significantly impact board control over the course of a match. The foil finish adds a layer of visual appeal, distinguishing it from the non-foil versions and enhancing its desirability among those who appreciate the aesthetic presentation of trading card game items. Whether you are building a collection or looking for a powerful addition to your gameplay arsenal, this card represents a key component of the set's identity. The Cyclopean Tomb foil stands out as a functional and visually striking artifact that captures the essence of the Masters Edition IV release.
