Durkwood Baloth

Description

The 2013 Magic: The Gathering Modern Masters release brought together a curated selection of powerful cards from the game's history, and Durkwood Baloth stands out as a key piece for any deck-building enthusiast. Featured as card number 142 in the Modern Masters set, this foil version of the creature offers collectors a visually striking addition to their library. The card is a six-mana green Beast with five power and five toughness, making it a formidable presence on the battlefield. Instead of paying the full six mana to cast the card from your hand, you can pay a single green mana to exile it with five time counters. Each turn, you remove one counter, and when the last one is removed, you may cast the card for free with haste. This unique gameplay mechanic allows for strategic planning and resource management, adding depth to the card's utility beyond its raw power. The foil treatment enhances the card's aesthetic appeal, catching the light and providing a premium feel that appeals to both players and serious collectors. As part of the Modern Masters series, which was designed to make powerful cards more accessible, this card represents a significant moment in Magic: The Gathering's evolution. The combination of its gameplay utility, the distinctive Suspend mechanic, and the high-quality foil finish makes this product for enthusiasts looking to complete their Modern Masters collection or add a versatile creature to their collection.
