Steamcore Scholar

Description

The Steamcore Scholar stands out in the 2024 Magic: The Gathering Murders at Karlov Manor Promos set as a unique Rare creature card. Carrying the card number 71p and featuring a distinctive foil finish, this product appeals to collectors who appreciate the intricate design work of artist David Astruga. As part of the PMKM set code series, the card embodies the detective theme with its specific type line: Creature — Weird Detective. Gameplay mechanics make this card a strategic asset. With a mana cost of {2}{U} and a mana value of 3, the Steamcore Scholar offers efficient play. Its key abilities include flying and vigilance, providing both offensive reach and defensive stability. The most compelling feature is its enters-the-battlefield trigger: when this creature enters, you draw two cards. However, this benefit comes with a calculated risk—you must then discard two cards unless you discard an instant, sorcery, or a creature with flying. This dynamic creates exciting decision-making moments during gameplay. Collectors seeking to complete the Murders at Karlov Manor Promos series will find this foil version particularly desirable. The rare treatment and specific promo status distinguish it from standard prints. Whether you are building a themed collection or looking for versatile cards in your deck, the Steamcore Scholar offers both aesthetic appeal and mechanical depth. The card’s flavor text, "Hm. That's weird," perfectly captures the quirky nature of the set, making it a conversation piece among peers. This product represents a solid addition for anyone interested in the modern era of trading card games.
