Description

Ovika, Enigma Goliath is a Legendary Creature — Phyrexian Nightmare featured in the Phyrexia: All Will Be One Promos set for Magic: The Gathering. Released in 2023, this card carries the specific identifier 213p and is printed with a foil finish to distinguish it from standard checklist items. The card’s mana cost of {5}{U}{R} reflects its mana value of 7, requiring a significant investment of red and blue mana to cast. As a six-power, six-toughness creature, Ovika presents a substantial board presence for players controlling the appropriate colors. The card’s rules text offers distinct mechanical interactions that define its role in gameplay. It possesses the flying ability, allowing it to bypass ground-based blockers, and includes a Ward—{3}, Pay 3 life ability that forces opponents to spend additional resources to remove it. A key feature of Ovika is its token-creation effect: whenever you cast a noncreature spell, you create X 1/1 red Phyrexian Goblin creature tokens, where X is the mana value of that spell. These tokens gain haste until end of turn, enabling immediate offensive or defensive utility. This synergy rewards players who utilize a variety of spells during their turns, turning non-creature investments into temporary board presence.
