Description
Sunspear Shikari is a white one-drop creature that defines efficiency in Magic: The Gathering's early game. Released in 2015 as part of the Modern Masters expansion, this card features the artist Allen Williams and carries the set code MM2. As a Cat Soldier, it brings immediate board presence with its 2/2 power and toughness for just one white mana. The strategic value of this card lies in its ability to scale. When equipped with an artifact, it gains both first strike and lifelink, allowing it to deal damage before blockers can respond while also healing the controller. This duality makes it a flexible choice for aggressive strategies that rely on equipment synergy. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering trading card game cards often look for this card number 35 to complete their Modern Masters sets. Its status as a common print makes it accessible, yet its consistent reprint history ensures it remains a relevant piece for anyone interested in the evolution of competitive formats. Whether you are building a library or cataloging rare reprints, Sunspear Shikari represents a key component of the set's design philosophy.

As long as this creature is equipped, it has first strike and lifelink. (It deals combat damage before creatures without first strike. Damage dealt by it also causes you to gain that much life.)
Left without their leader Raksha, the leonin split into two prides: one side supported the regent kha, while the other rebelled in fury.
