Corpsejack Menace

Description

The 2012 Return to Ravnica Promos release of Corpsejack Menace stands as a pivotal piece for Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts seeking high-impact creature cards. This Rare card, designated with the set code PRTR and number 152★, features a distinctive star foil treatment that enhances its visual appeal within the collector's binder or deck box. Designed by Vincent Proce, this card introduces a potent mechanical effect that resonates deeply with players who favor token-based strategies. As a Creature — Fungus with a mana cost of {2}{B}{G} and a mana value of 4, Corpsejack Menace delivers immediate board presence with a 4/4 power and toughness. Its primary strength lies in its static ability: if one or more +1/+1 counters would be put on a creature you control, twice that many +1/+1 counters are put on it instead. This doubling effect makes it a cornerstone for decks built around swarming the board with resilient tokens, amplifying their longevity and threat level. The flavor text, "Weakness is not in the nature of the Swarm," captures the relentless, hive-minded essence of the fungus, adding narrative depth to its gameplay utility. For investors and completists, the star foil variant represents a sought-after finish that elevates the card beyond its standard rarity. Whether you are building a competitive deck around +1/+1 counter synergies or expanding your Return to Ravnica collection, Corpsejack Menace offers both mechanical power and collectible value. Its black and green color identity allows for flexible mana base construction, making it a versatile addition to any Magic: The Gathering enthusiast's library.
