World Shaper

Description

The World Shaper card, designated as 151p in the 2018 Rivals of Ixalan Promos set, is a rare Magic: The Gathering trading card game card. Illustrated by Raymond Swanland, this green creature card features the type line Creature — Merfolk Shaman with a mana cost of {3}{G} and a mana value of 4. The card possesses 3 power and 3 toughness, fitting into the green color identity within the game's framework. As a promotional variant, this release carries a foil treatment that distinguishes it from standard print runs. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering often target promo cards from specific sets to complete their roster of rare creatures. The Merfolk Shaman archetype holds a dedicated place among players who build decks around tribal synergies and graveyard manipulation. The card’s abilities offer distinct gameplay interactions. When World Shaper attacks, its controller may mill three cards from their library. Upon its death, the effect returns all land cards from the graveyard to the battlefield in a tapped state. These mechanics allow for resource acceleration and board recovery, making it a functional piece in various deck strategies. The flavor text, "The Great River will not be tamed," hints at the card's thematic connection to the set's narrative without relying on external lore assumptions. For investors and hobbyists tracking the Rivals of Ixalan era, the 151p numbering places this card firmly within the promotional checklist, offering a specific target for set completionists.
