Skullwinder

Description

Skullwinder is a distinct green Snake creature found in the Modern Horizons 3 expansion of Magic: The Gathering, released in 2024. Identified as card number 247 in the Commander subset, this uncommon foil card brings unique graveyard interaction to the table. The card features a mana cost of {2}{G} and boasts a mana value of 3, making it a efficient addition to any green deck seeking recursive capabilities. Art by Nicholas Gregory, the foil treatment adds a premium visual appeal that collectors appreciate. The card's gameplay revolves around its deathtouch ability and a triggered effect that occurs when it enters the battlefield. Upon summoning, you may return a target card from your graveyard to your hand. However, this benefit comes with a strategic cost: you must choose an opponent who then gets to return a card from their graveyard to their hand. This symmetric effect encourages careful consideration of board state and resource management, making Skullwinder a compelling piece for both competitive play and casual Commander games. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering often seek out specific foils and subsets like Commander for their aesthetic and rarity value. Its design and mechanics reflect the innovative spirit of the Horizons line, which focuses on formats outside of Standard. Whether you are building a deck around graveyard recursion or simply appreciate the art and mechanics of this Snake, Skullwinder represents a solid choice for your Magic: The Gathering collection.
