Description
The Golgari Thug is an Uncommon creature card from the 2005 Magic: The Gathering set Ravnica: City of Guilds, bearing the card number 87. Designed by Kev Walker, this Human Warrior creature serves as a foundational piece for collectors exploring the Golgari guild's themes of death and decay. As a black mana creature with a mana cost of {1}{B}, it offers strategic depth through its unique graveyard interactions. When this card leaves the battlefield, it allows players to retrieve a creature card from their graveyard and place it on top of their library, creating powerful recursive opportunities. Additionally, the card features the Dredge 4 ability, enabling players to mill four cards instead of drawing, returning the Thug from the graveyard to their hand to repeat the effect. This mechanic makes the Golgari Thug a notable choice for players building decks that leverage graveyard strategies within the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. For collectors, this card represents a key element of the original Ravnica block's complex world-building. The straightforward yet impactful design of the Golgari Thug appeals to enthusiasts who appreciate the intricate mechanics introduced during this era. Whether you are completing a set or seeking cards with specific gameplay utilities, this product stands out as a significant part of Magic history.
