Tilonalli's Summoner

Description

Tilonalli's Summoner is a distinct Rare card from the 2018 Magic: The Gathering Rivals of Ixalan expansion, carrying the catalog number 121. This foil release captures the vibrant energy of the Ixalan block, featuring artwork by Lius Lasahido that defines the set's aesthetic. As a two-mana Creature — Human Shaman, the card serves as a versatile piece for builders looking to execute specific strategies within the game. The foil treatment adds a layer of visual appeal, making this card a standout addition to any organized collection or binder. The card’s utility lies in its unique Ascend ability and token-creation mechanic. When controlled alongside other permanents, the Ascend feature grants the player the city's blessing, a persistent advantage that persists for the rest of the game. During combat, the Summoner allows players to pay additional mana to create tapped and attacking 1/1 red Elemental creature tokens. These tokens provide board presence and can help secure victory, though they are exiled at the next end step unless the city's blessing is active. This dynamic interaction between board state management and conditional token retention makes the card a strategic favorite. The Rivals of Ixalan set remains a pivotal part of Magic: The Gathering history, and cards like Tilonalli's Summoner represent the creative depth of that era. Whether you are assembling a complete set or hunting for specific rares to enhance your deck, this card offers both mechanical intrigue and collectible value.
