Detritivore is a Rare creature card from the 2007 Magic: The Gathering set Planar Chaos, identified by card number 96 in the Planar Chaos (PLC) subset. Designed as a Lhurgoyf, this red mana creature offers a distinct gameplay experience by scaling its power and toughness based on the number of nonbasic lands in opponents' graveyards. This mechanic rewards aggressive strategies that disrupt opponents' resources while simultaneously growing the creature's battlefield presence. A key feature of Detritivore is its Suspend ability, allowing players to exile the card with time counters by paying an alternative cost. This provides a reliable way to cast the creature without paying its full mana cost, while also triggering a secondary effect that destroys a target nonbasic land as time counters are removed. This dual functionality makes it a versatile tool for controlling the board state in various formats. Collectors appreciate Planar Chaos for its innovative design that flips the roles of rare and common cards, making this Rare Detritivore a notable piece for enthusiasts of the 2007 era. The card's unique interaction with land destruction and graveyard strategies has earned it a dedicated following among Magic: The Gathering players. Whether you are a seasoned player or new to the game, Detritivore represents a fascinating intersection of strategy and collectibility within the Planar Chaos set. For those building a comprehensive collection of Magic: The Gathering cards, Detritivore stands out as a critical component of the Planar Chaos set. Its enduring appeal lies in its mechanical depth and the strategic opportunities it presents at the tabletop.
