Eldrazi Obligator

Description

The Eldrazi Obligator is a foil rare promo card released in 2016 as part of the Magic: The Gathering Oath of the Gatewatch Promos set. Carrying the card number 96s, this creature card represents the formidable Eldrazi subtype within the game's expansive lore. Designed by artist Jason Felix, the card features a distinct foil treatment that enhances its visual appeal for collectors who appreciate the aesthetic details of vintage TCG releases. From a gameplay perspective, the Eldrazi Obligator is a three-mana creature with a power and toughness of 3/1. Its defining mechanic, Devoid, means the card has no color identity despite its red mana cost, allowing it to be included in decks that restrict colored cards. The card's primary ability allows the controller to pay an additional colorless mana to gain temporary control of a target creature. Once stolen, the creature is untapped and granted haste, enabling immediate use in combat or for other strategic effects until the end of the turn. Collectors often seek this promo for its connection to the Oath of the Gatewatch era, a significant period in Magic's history. The foil finish adds a layer of desirability, making it a standout addition to any set completionist's binder or collection. Whether you are building a thematic collection around Eldrazi creatures or simply appreciate the design of the Oath of the Gatewatch promos, this card offers a tangible piece of the game's legacy. The combination of its unique mechanical ability and its foil rarity makes it a notable item for enthusiasts of the trading card game. Adding this card to your collection allows you to hold a piece of the 2016 promo landscape, celebrating the creativity and depth of the Magic: The Gathering universe.
