The Magic: The Gathering Gorilla War Cry foil card (ME4 #124) is a distinctive Instant from the 2011 Masters Edition IV set, designed for players who value aggressive combat strategies. Featuring a bold Red foil treatment, this card stands out in any collection with its premium finish and iconic artwork by Bryon Wackwitz. As card number 124 in the ME4 series, it serves as a key piece for enthusiasts completing the Masters Edition IV foil subset. In gameplay, Gorilla War Cry offers a powerful tactical advantage. Cast only during combat before blockers are declared, it grants all creatures menace until the end of the turn, meaning opponents must block them with two or more creatures to defeat them. This mechanic creates significant pressure on opposing strategies. Additionally, the card provides a resource advantage by allowing the player to draw a card at the beginning of the next turn's upkeep, offsetting the mana cost of {1}{R}. The Red foil variant is particularly popular among those who prioritize visual impact in their Magic: The Gathering trading card game card collections. Whether you are building a competitive deck or curating a set of rare foils, this card represents a solid addition to any serious collection. The Masters Edition IV brand continues to be a favorite for vintage-style gameplay and high-quality card production.
