## Description

The Modern Horizons 2 expansion brought a bold, modern aesthetic to Magic: The Gathering, reimagining classic mechanics with new art styles and powerful effects. At the center of this reimagining is Timeless Witness, card number 179 in the set. As an uncommon foil, this green card stands out for its shimmering finish and strategic depth. It functions as a Human Shaman creature with a mana cost of {2}{G}{G}, making it a flexible addition to various decks. The card’s primary ability allows players to return a target card from their graveyard to their hand when it enters the battlefield. Additionally, the eternalize mechanic offers a second life: by paying {5}{G}{G} and exiling it from the graveyard, it creates a 4/4 black Zombie Human Shaman token. This dual utility makes Timeless Witness a sought-after piece for collectors who appreciate both the visual appeal of foil treatments and the strategic versatility of the Modern Horizons 2 design. Its enduring presence in the collector market highlights the set's impact on the game's history.
