Tiger Claws

Description

Tiger Claws is a green Enchantment — Aura card from the 1999 Mercadian Masques expansion in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Identified by card number 279 and the set code MMQ, this common card was illustrated by Adam Rex and requires a mana cost of {2}{G} to cast. As a green card, it belongs to the Forest color identity and functions as a strategic enchantment designed to enhance the power and reach of a single creature on the battlefield. The card’s abilities allow the enchanted creature to receive a +1/+1 counter effect and possess the trample keyword, enabling excess damage to pass through blocked creatures. Additionally, Tiger Claws features the flash ability, meaning it can be cast at instant speed, providing flexibility during an opponent’s turn or in response to threats. These mechanics make it a versatile tool for players looking to stabilize a board state or finish off an opponent with a boosted attacker. Collectors often seek out Mercadian Masques cards to complete their set collections or to explore the lore of the Mercadian setting. The flavor text references the Cho-Arrim martial artists who emulate the beasts of their home, adding narrative depth to the card’s design. Whether you are building a casual deck or assembling a personal collection of Magic: The Gathering cards, Tiger Claws represents a solid piece of the game’s early modern era.
