Archon of Cruelty

Description

Archon of Cruelty stands as one of the most imposing threats in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, originating from the 2021 Modern Horizons 2 expansion. As card number 342 in the set, this mythic rare creature demands a substantial mana investment of six black mana to cast, reflecting its formidable eight mana value and 6/6 power and toughness. Designed by Andrew Mar, the foil treatment adds a layer of visual appeal that collectors highly value when assembling their Modern Horizons 2 collections. The card's abilities make it a significant presence on the battlefield: it possesses flying and triggers powerful effects whenever it enters combat or attacks. When these triggers activate, a target opponent must sacrifice a creature or planeswalker of their choice, discard a card, and lose 3 life, while the controller draws a card and gains 3 life. This combination of defensive evasion and aggressive disruption makes the card a staple for those seeking to build competitive decks or complete high-tier set collections. Whether you are a dedicated collector of the Modern Horizons 2 series or a player looking for a dominant black card, this foil mythic rare offers both aesthetic and mechanical value.
