Magda, the Hoardmaster

Description

Designed by Diego Gisbert, this Magic: The Gathering trading card centers on a resource-generating strategy that rewards aggressive gameplay. With a mana cost of {1}{R} and a mana value of 2, Magda enters the battlefield efficiently as a 2/2 creature. The card’s primary ability activates whenever a crime is committed, creating a tapped Treasure token. This effect is limited to triggering only once each turn, encouraging players to balance crime execution with resource accumulation. In the context of the game, targeting opponents, their controlled permanents, or cards in graveyards constitutes a crime, making Magda a potent engine for generating mana artifacts through strategic interaction. For collectors of the Outlaws of Thunder Junction set, this promo card offers a distinct mechanical identity within the Magic: The Gathering card pool. The second ability allows players to sacrifice three Treasures to create a 4/4 red Scorpion Dragon creature token with flying and haste. This activation can only be performed as a sorcery, providing a late-game payoff for those who have successfully built their Treasure reserves throughout the match. The card’s unique combination of crime triggers and token generation makes it a notable addition to any Magic: The Gathering collection focused on creature-centric strategies and artifact synergy.
