## Description

The 204s foil promo of Lonis, Cryptozoologist belongs to the 2021 Modern Horizons 2 Promos expansion for Magic: The Gathering. As a rare card with the PMH2 set code, this release features a Legendary Creature subtype with the specific lineage of Snake Elf Scout. The mana cost requires one green and one blue mana, resulting in a mana value of two. Its power and toughness are listed as 1/2.

The card’s rules text defines a two-part ability that interacts with the game board. First, whenever another nontoken creature you control enters, you create Clue tokens, a form of resource generation. Second, you can tap the creature and sacrifice a specific number of those Clues to target an opponent. That player must then reveal the top cards of their library equal to the sacrificed amount. You may choose to put a nonland permanent card with a mana value equal to or less than that number onto your battlefield, while the rest of the revealed cards are shuffled onto the bottom of the opponent's library in a random order. This mechanic allows for strategic disruption and board advantage.

Andrew Mar provided the original art for this card. The 2021 Modern Horizons 2 Promos set includes the foil card Lonis, Cryptozoologist (204s).
