Rakdos Firewheeler

Description

The Rakdos Firewheeler stands as a distinct presence within the Magic: The Gathering 2019 Ravnica Allegiance Promos set. Identified by card number 197 and marked with the set code PRNA, this uncommon creature captures the chaotic essence of the Rakdos guild through its fiery design and aggressive gameplay mechanics. As a foil variant, the card offers a textured, reflective finish that elevates its visual appeal for collectors who appreciate the tactile qualities of premium print runs. Designed by Tyler Walpole, the Rakdos Firewheeler is classified as a Human Rogue with a mana cost of {B}{B}{R}{R} and a power/toughness of 4/3. The card’s rules text describes a potent entry effect: when it enters the battlefield, it deals two damage to a target opponent and two damage to up to one target creature or planeswalker. This dual-damage capability makes it a memorable piece for players and collectors alike, bridging the gap between strategic utility and collectible art. For enthusiasts of the Ravnica Allegiance era, this promo card represents a key component of the broader promotional landscape released alongside the main set expansion. While not part of the standard numbered sequence, promo cards like this one are highly valued for their unique distribution channels and distinct foil treatments. Collectors often seek out these cards to complete specialized subsets or to add depth to their Rakdos-themed collections. The 2019 release period saw a surge in interest in guild-themed mechanics, and the Rakdos Firewheeler remains a staple for those tracking the evolution of Magic's card design during this pivotal year. Whether you are building a dedicated Rakdos deck or curating a comprehensive Ravnica collection, this foil promo card offers a tangible connection to one of Magic's most beloved settings.
