Reki, the History of Kamigawa

Description

Reki, the History of Kamigawa is a foil rare card from the 2005 Saviors of Kamigawa expansion, identified by the set code SOK and card number 142. As a Legendary Creature — Human Shaman, this card is a cornerstone for decks seeking efficient card advantage through its unique triggered ability. When a player casts any legendary spell, Reki allows them to draw a card, making it a highly valued engine in formats that support legendary permanents. The card features a mana cost of two generic mana and one green mana, placing it squarely in the green color identity with a mana value of three. Its power and toughness of 1/2 reflect its role as a support unit rather than a direct combatant, relying on its ability to fuel the deck's resources. The artwork for this release was created by Edward P. Beard, Jr., capturing the essence of the Kamigawa plane’s aesthetic. Collectors often seek out the foil version for its shimmering finish, which distinguishes it from the nonfoil common prints within the same set. The card’s lore, rooted in the transcribed history of its namesake, adds depth to the narrative of the Saviors of Kamigawa block. For Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts, this card represents a pivotal moment in the game’s exploration of legendary mechanics during the mid-2000s era. Whether building a themed deck or expanding a collection of Kamigawa-era cards, Reki remains a significant piece of the game’s history.
