Description
Personal Decoy stands out in the Magic: The Gathering community as one of the most whimsical and powerful designs from the Mystery Booster Playtest Cards series. Released in 2019 as card number 96, this Rare card features the unconventional Planeswalker — Duck type, blending strategic depth with playful artistry. Designed by Alison Luhrs, the card captures the experimental spirit of the Mystery Booster format, which was created to test new ideas before they might appear in standard sets. Gameplay for Personal Decoy revolves around its unique entry and defensive capabilities. Upon entering the battlefield, it arrives with loyalty counters equal to your life total, making it incredibly resilient. Its primary defensive ability prevents you from being attacked, offering a powerful protective effect. The card also provides utility through its activated abilities: gaining life with a small loyalty investment or drawing a card at a higher cost. This versatility makes it a favorite among collectors who appreciate both its mechanical innovation and its humorous theme. For enthusiasts of Magic: The Gathering trading card game cards, this piece represents a significant milestone in the brand's history of creative experimentation.
