Description

This card, identified as number 142 in the set, features the distinctive foil treatment that collectors actively seek to distinguish their copies from the standard print run. As a one-green mana cost Legendary Human Shaman, Reki offers a straightforward yet powerful ability: drawing a card whenever you cast a legendary spell.

For collectors, this foil variant from the SOK set represents a key piece of Magic history from the mid-2000s. The card's identity is anchored in its role as a legendary figure whose story was transcribed by monks, adding narrative depth to its gameplay utility. Whether you are building a thematic deck or looking to complete your Saviors of Kamigawa collection, this foil card provides both aesthetic appeal and mechanical value. The combination of its legendary status, foil finish, and relevant gameplay effect makes it a standout choice for those who appreciate the strategic depth and lore of the game.
