Description
The Everlasting Lich card, designated as number 41 in the 2019 Mystery Booster Playtest Cards set, represents a fascinating experiment in Magic: The Gathering design. Released under the CMB1 set code, this Rare Zombie creature challenges standard game mechanics with its distinctive rules text. Art by Aaron Forsythe, the card features a mana cost of {2}{B}{B}{B} and serves as a five-mana threat with 4 power and 0 toughness. Its most notable attribute is its resilience; the card cannot die, cannot be sacrificed, and ignores lethal damage from having zero toughness, effectively granting it indestructible status without using the keyword. For collectors of Magic: The Gathering trading card game cards, the Mystery Booster Playtest series holds a special place in the hobby's history. These playtest cards were created to explore new mechanics and card designs before they were finalized for public release. The Everlasting Lich stands out as a prime example of this experimental phase, offering a unique piece of TCG history for those who appreciate the evolution of card design. Owning this card allows collectors to engage with the creative process behind one of the world's most popular collectible card games. It serves as a tangible link to the testing grounds where future staples and curiosities are born. Whether you are building a comprehensive collection of Mystery Booster items or focusing on Zombie-themed decks, this card adds significant depth to any portfolio.
