Description
Released in 2005 as part of the Ravnica: City of Guilds expansion, the Tidewater Minion card (RAV 71) represents a unique mechanical twist within the Magic: The Gathering trading card game universe. This blue Elemental Minion features a mana cost of three generic and two blue mana, resulting in a formidable 4/4 power and toughness stat line. While it possesses the Defender keyword, preventing it from attacking, its ability to untap target permanents for four mana makes it a flexible defensive tool for players and collectors alike. Designed by artist Tomas Giorello, the foil finish adds significant visual appeal to this common rarity card. Collectors often seek out the Tidewater Minion foil to complete their Ravnica: City of Guilds sets, appreciating how the shimmering treatment highlights the card's identity as a key piece of the block's early lore. For those building collections focused on specific card numbers or foil treatments within the Ravnica block, this card offers a distinct addition.
