Planebound Accomplice

Description

Planebound Accomplice is a creature card from the 2019 Magic: The Gathering Modern Horizons expansion, designated as card number 140 in the MH1 set. Classified as a Rare, this Human Wizard brings a distinct strategic element to the game with a mana cost of two generic mana and one red mana. Its power and toughness are listed as 1/3, making it a resilient presence on the battlefield despite its modest offensive stats. The card’s primary appeal for collectors and players lies in its unique activated ability. By paying one red mana, the controller may put a planeswalker card from their hand onto the battlefield. This effect allows for immediate impact, though it comes with the condition that the planeswalker must be sacrificed at the beginning of the next end step. This mechanic creates interesting decision-making moments during gameplay, balancing immediate power against temporary deployment. The flavor text, "Told you I had friends," adds a narrative touch to the card’s identity within the Magic universe. Illustrated by Paul Scott Canavan, the card is part of the growing collection of modern Magic: The Gathering trading card game cards that continue to expand the game's lore and mechanics. Collectors often seek out specific cards from Modern Horizons to complete their sets or to acquire unique interactions that define the era.
