Description

Skyhunter Cub, cataloged as L42, is a creature card from the 2005 Salvat expansion for Magic: The Gathering. This white mana card introduces collectors to a unique creature type combination: the Cat Knight. With a mana cost of {2}{W} and a mana value of 3, it occupies a specific slot in the game's resource structure, offering a 2/2 base stat line typical of early-game threats. The card’s primary appeal lies in its equip ability, which allows players to attach equipment to the creature. While equipped, Skyhunter Cub gains +1/+1 and the flying keyword ability. This mechanic makes it a flexible piece for decks focusing on equipment strategies, appealing to collectors who appreciate the tactical depth of the game’s design. The artwork by Pete Venters complements the card’s identity, though collectors often focus on its gameplay utility and set rarity as a common card. As part of the Salvat set, Skyhunter Cub represents a distinct era in Magic: The Gathering’s history. Collectors may seek this card for its role in equipment-heavy archetypes or simply for its place in the broader Magic: The Gathering canon. Whether you are a seasoned player or a new enthusiast, this card offers a glimpse into the strategic possibilities that define the trading card game.
