Product Overview

Description

Flaying Tendrils is a distinctive black sorcery from the 2016 Oath of the Gatewatch expansion, identified by card number 70 in the set. Designed by Slawomir Maniak, this Uncommon card features a foil finish that enhances its visual appeal for collectors of Magic: The Gathering artifacts. The card's design emphasizes its menacing nature through its foil treatment, making it a standout piece for enthusiasts who appreciate the aesthetic diversity of the OGW subset. Mechanically, Flaying Tendrils is a potent tool for players controlling the black mana color identity. With a mana cost of {1}{B}{B} and a mana value of 3, it offers efficient board presence. The card possesses the Devoid characteristic, meaning it has no color despite its black mana requirements. Its primary effect forces all creatures to receive a -2/-2 counter until the end of the turn. More notably, if a creature would die this turn, it is exiled instead. This unique interaction makes the card a favorite for strategies focused on removing threats permanently from the game. Collectors often seek out the foil version of Flaying Tendrils for its shimmering finish and its role in the Oath of the Gatewatch storyline. The flavor text references the epic battle against the Eldrazi, adding narrative depth to the physical card. Whether you are building a set completion collection or looking for high-quality foil cards from this era, this release provides a compelling addition to any Magic: The Gathering library. The platform connects buyers with sellers who specialize in trading card game collectibles, making it easier to track down specific foils and rarities.
