Description
Released in 2005 as part of the Salvat series, this Magic: The Gathering card identifies the Okiba-Gang Shinobi with the catalog number E54. Designed by artist Mark Zug, the card depicts a Creature — Rat Ninja with a mana cost of {3}{B}{B} and a power/toughness of 3/2. This release is significant for collectors exploring the Ninja tribal theme introduced during that era of the trading card game. The card features the Ninjutsu ability, allowing players to swap an unblocked attacker to bring the Shinobi onto the battlefield tapped and attacking. When it deals combat damage, the effect forces the opponent to discard two cards. For investors and completists, this print from the Salvat subset offers a distinct visual and mechanical identity separate from standard expansion sets. The combination of the Rat subtype and the Ninja mechanic makes it a unique piece for those studying the evolution of card design in the mid-2000s. Collectors often seek out this card to understand the strategic depth and aesthetic diversity of the Salvat product line. Whether you are building a themed deck or assembling a comprehensive archive of Magic history, this card provides a tangible link to that specific point in the game's development.
