Higure, the Still Wind

Description

The 2016 Planechase Anthology release features Higure, the Still Wind as Card Number 18, a distinct addition to the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Illustrated by Christopher Moeller, this Rare card captures the essence of the Ninja archetype with a unique blend of evasion and card advantage. As a Legendary Creature — Human Ninja, it demands a mana cost of {3}{U}{U}, making it a significant investment that pays off through strategic board presence. Higure brings a versatile toolkit to the table, centered around the Ninjutsu mechanic. Players can return an unblocked attacker to their hand to pay {2}{U}{U}, allowing Higure to enter the battlefield tapped and attacking. This flexibility enables surprise attacks and protects key resources. Furthermore, whenever Higure deals combat damage to a player, the controller may search their library for a Ninja card, reveal it, and add it to their hand before shuffling. This ability provides consistent value, helping to maintain hand size and find key pieces during long games. The card also offers a activated ability that costs {2}, allowing a target Ninja creature to become unblockable for the turn. This synergizes perfectly with Higure’s own presence, creating a formidable offensive package. The clean design and powerful effects make Higure, the Still Wind a memorable piece for any Magic: The Gathering collection. Whether you are a seasoned veteran or a new player, Higure represents a solid choice for those who appreciate strategic depth and thematic consistency in their cards.
