Murktide Regent

Description

Murktide Regent is a 2021 Mythic Rare Dragon from the Modern Horizons 2 set, designed by artist Lucas Graciano with a potent Delve mechanic. This creature card, numbered 337 in the set, commands a mana cost of five generic and two blue mana. As a seven-mana-value artifact, it enters the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter for every instant and sorcery card exiled from your graveyard during its casting. This interaction defines its power level, allowing the card to grow significantly larger than its base 3/3 body if the player has prepared their graveyard effectively. The card’s ability to put additional +1/+1 counters on itself whenever an instant or sorcery leaves the graveyard makes it a dynamic threat. The Delve mechanic allows players to exile cards from their graveyard to reduce the mana cost, making the casting of this seven-mana spell more accessible. This design encourages strategic deck building that focuses on graveyard synergy and spell density. The card’s blue color identity and Dragon subtype place it firmly within the blue mana color pie, appealing to players who enjoy control or combo strategies involving graveyard manipulation. Whether for competitive play or personal collection, Murktide Regent represents a significant piece of the 2021 Modern Horizons 2 lineup. Its ability to scale rapidly on the battlefield makes it a formidable presence in any game. Collectors appreciate the card for its intricate rules text and the strategic depth it brings to the table. This release remains a standout item for those who appreciate complex creature interactions and high-rarity prints in the Magic: The Gathering universe.
