Description

Krark's Thumb is a Rare Legendary Artifact card from the 2003 Mirrodin set, designated as card number 190 in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.

Created by artist Ron Spencer, the card remains a notable piece for collectors who appreciate the unique design and mechanical innovation of early 2000s Magic expansions.
