Gyruda, Doom of Depths

Description

The 2023 Magic: The Gathering Multiverse Legends foil card Gyruda, Doom of Depths brings a formidable presence to the Commander format. As a Legendary Creature — Demon Kraken, this card commands a mana cost of {4}{U/B}{U/B} and boasts a substantial 6/6 power and toughness. Its dual-color identity of Black and Blue allows it to fit seamlessly into decks seeking both control and aggressive creature options. Gyruda’s most distinct feature is its Companion ability, which alters deck construction by requiring all cards to have an even mana value. Once in the sideboard, the card can be cast for {3} as a sorcery, providing a powerful late-game threat that bypasses the initial mana curve restrictions. This mechanic appeals to players who enjoy strategic deck-building challenges and flexible play patterns. When Gyruda enters the battlefield, it triggers a milling effect that forces each player to put four cards from their library into their graveyard. From among these milled cards, you may put a creature card with an even mana value onto the battlefield under your control. This ability transforms discarded resources into immediate board presence, making it a potent tool for value generation in longer games. The foil treatment adds a premium aesthetic to the card, enhancing its visual appeal for collectors and players alike. For collectors of Magic: The Gathering trading cards, this release represents a key piece of the Multiverse Legends expansion. The card number 172z identifies its specific place within the set, while the foil finish ensures it stands out in any collection. Whether you are building a competitive deck or expanding your archive of rare creatures, Gyruda offers both mechanical depth and collector value. The artwork by Steve Ellis complements the dark, aquatic theme of the Demon Kraken, though the focus remains on its game-breaking potential.
