Ilharg, the Raze-Boar

Description

Ilharg, the Raze-Boar stands as a formidable presence in the Magic: The Gathering Ravnica Remastered set. Released in 2024 as card number 429, this foil Mythic Rare features the legendary Boar God with a mana cost of three generic and two red mana. Designed by artist Moopic, the card represents a significant power level within the format, appealing to collectors who appreciate high-rarity artifacts from the Ravnica block. The foil treatment adds a distinct visual appeal, making it a standout piece for enthusiasts of the guilds of Ravnica. As a Legendary Creature with six power and six toughness, Ilharg commands the battlefield with immediate impact. The card includes the trample ability, allowing excess damage to flow through to the opponent when blocked. Its unique triggered ability offers strategic depth: when attacking, you may put a creature card from your hand onto the battlefield tapped and attacking. This creature then returns to your hand at the beginning of the next end step, enabling repeated value generation from a single hand of creatures. This mechanic encourages dynamic play patterns that reward careful hand management and timing. Beyond its offensive capabilities, Ilharg provides resilience through its death trigger. When the creature dies or is exiled from the battlefield, you may put it into its owner's library third from the top. This recursion effect ensures that Ilharg remains a recurring threat, preserving its value even after removal. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering trading card game cards often seek out this print for its combination of iconic artwork, powerful mechanics, and Mythic Rare status. The Ravnica Remastered set serves as a bridge for fans of the original Ravnica: City of Guilds and its subsequent expansions, offering a curated selection of favorites in a modern frame.
