Moonlit Strider

Description

Moonlit Strider card number 27 is a white Spirit creature from the Magic: The Gathering Modern Masters 2015 expansion. Released in 2015, this set reprint brings a classic design to a familiar white mana cost of {3}{W}. The card operates as a 1/4 creature with a mana value of 4, fitting into the white color identity within the game's structure. The card features two distinct abilities that define its gameplay role. Players can sacrifice this creature to grant a target creature they control protection from a chosen color until the end of the turn. This utility allows for strategic protection of key assets during critical moments. Additionally, the card includes the Soulshift 3 ability. When Moonlit Strider dies, players may return a target Spirit card with a mana value of 3 or less from their graveyard to their hand. This recursion effect provides value by retrieving other spirits from the graveyard, supporting strategies that rely on spirit synergy. As a foil common in the Modern Masters 2015 set, this card appeals to collectors who seek foil variants for their complete checklist. The set code MM2 identifies its specific release within the Modern Masters series. Collectors often focus on acquiring the foil versions of commons to complete the visual presentation of the set. The card is illustrated by John Avon, whose artwork is part of the set's overall aesthetic. This combination of gameplay utility and foil finish makes Moonlit Strider a notable part of the Modern Masters 2015 catalog for Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts.
