Stingscourger

Description

As card number 131 in the MMA series, this Common rarity creature represents a foundational element for Goblin tribal strategies. Designed by Wayne Reynolds, the card captures the aggressive essence of the Goblin Warrior type, appealing to both competitive players and collectors who appreciate the era's design language. Stingscourger’s gameplay revolves around its Echo ability, requiring players to pay {3}{R} at the beginning of their upkeep if the creature entered the battlefield since the previous one, or sacrifice it. This mechanic forces strategic decision-making, balancing the card’s potent entry effect against its long-term sustainability. When it enters the battlefield, it returns a target creature an opponent controls to its owner’s hand, disrupting enemy plans and controlling the board state effectively. For collectors, Modern Masters serves as a premium reprint set, bringing powerful cards from Magic history back into circulation with updated frames and foil treatments. Whether building a collection focused on iconic creatures or seeking to complete the Modern Masters subset, this card offers a tangible connection to a defining moment in Magic’s evolution. The card’s enduring presence in the game’s legacy makes it a compelling addition for anyone interested in the strategic depth and artistic heritage of Magic: The Gathering.
