Nest Invader

Description

The Nest Invader card, numbered 150, is a key component of the Modern Masters 2015 expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Released in 2015 under the set code MM2, this release brought popular cards from previous sets into a fresh, affordable format for players and collectors alike. The Nest Invader appears here with a distinctive foil treatment, offering a shimmering alternative to the standard nonfoil print run that many enthusiasts prefer for display purposes. Designed by Trevor Claxton, this card depicts a creature with the type line Creature — Eldrazi Drone. In gameplay, the Nest Invader enters the battlefield as a 2/2 creature with a mana cost of {1}{G}. Its primary ability triggers upon entering the field, creating a 0/1 colorless Eldrazi Spawn creature token. This token provides a versatile resource by allowing the player to sacrifice it to add one colorless mana to their mana pool, making it a functional piece for various strategies that require early acceleration. The card’s flavor text hints at the creature's purpose: nurturing the future of its masters. Collectors often seek out foil versions of cards like the Nest Invader because the metallic finish enhances the visual appeal and distinguishes these copies from standard prints. Whether you are looking to complete a collection of Modern Masters foils or simply appreciate the unique aesthetic of the MM2 release, this card offers a tangible connection to this era of Magic: The Gathering history.
