Cyclone Sire

Description

Designed by artist Igor Kieryluk, this card captures the volatile essence of the game's magical ecosystem through its distinct foil treatment and thematic depth. Collectors appreciate the card for its aesthetic finish and its place within one of the franchise's pivotal story arcs. Cyclone Sire is a five-mana five-mana-cost creature with three power and four toughness. Its gameplay revolves around a unique interaction with the battlefield that appeals to strategic builders. When this Elemental leaves play, a player can choose to place three +1/+1 counters on a land they control. If they do, that land transforms into a 0/0 Elemental creature with haste, allowing it to attack immediately while retaining its land status. This dual nature makes it a versatile piece for decks seeking to manipulate board states or utilize land-based synergies. The card’s flavor text highlights the chaotic energy of the Roil, emphasizing how life emerges from volatile elements. This narrative context adds layers of interest for lore-focused collectors who enjoy the deeper storytelling embedded in Magic: The Gathering. The foil finish enhances the visual appeal, making it a standout piece in any collection. Whether you are building a themed deck around land manipulation or simply expanding your library of Uncommon cards, this release offers both mechanical intrigue and collector value. The Oath of the Gatewatch set remains a significant chapter in the game's history, and cards like Cyclone Sire represent the creative design philosophy of that era. As a foil Uncommon, it strikes a balance between accessibility and desirability, making it an excellent addition for both new and veteran players.
