Seraphic Steed

Description

The Seraphic Steed is a foil card from the 2024 Magic: The Gathering Outlaws of Thunder Junction expansion, identified by card number 364 in the set. Designed by Jonas De Ro, this creature card brings a unique mechanical synergy to the game as a Unicorn Mount. With a mana cost of {G}{W} and a mana value of 2, it serves as an efficient early-game option for players building decks around the white and green color identity. As a 2/2 Creature — Unicorn Mount, the card offers immediate board presence through its first strike and lifelink abilities. This combination allows it to deal damage before blockers and generate life gain simultaneously, providing both offensive pressure and defensive stability. The card’s design fits seamlessly into the Outlaws of Thunder Junction theme, offering collectors a tangible piece of the set's distinct aesthetic. Beyond its base stats, the Seraphic Steed features a powerful triggered ability tied to the saddle mechanic. Whenever this creature attacks while saddled, it creates a 3/3 white Angel creature token with flying. This ability transforms the card from a simple attacker into a significant board advantage, potentially turning the tide of combat. The saddle mechanic itself allows players to tap other creatures with total power 4 or more to saddle this Mount as a sorcery, adding strategic depth to deck construction. Collectors and players alike appreciate the Seraphic Steed for its elegant design and functional gameplay. The foil finish adds a premium touch to the card, making it a desirable addition to any Magic: The Gathering collection. Whether used in constructed formats or casual play, this card exemplifies the innovative design philosophy of the Outlaws of Thunder Junction set. It stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of creature synergies and token generation in the trading card game.
