Description
The Sunspear Shikari stands as a distinct creature card within the Magic: The Gathering Scars of Mirrodin expansion, released in 2010. Identified as card number 23 in the set, this Common rarity card depicts a Cat Soldier with a mana cost of {1}{W} and a mana value of 2. The card’s design emphasizes its role as a versatile combatant, offering players both first strike and lifelink abilities as long as it is equipped with an artifact. Designed by Allen Williams, the Sunspear Shikari foil edition adds a layer of visual appeal for collectors who appreciate the shimmering finish characteristic of foil prints in the Scars of Mirrodin series. The card’s flavor text alludes to the complex political landscape of the Mirrodin plane, where the leonin split into opposing factions following the loss of their leader, Raksha.

For collectors, the Sunspear Shikari represents a tangible piece of Magic: The Gathering history from the late 2000s era. Its combination of a popular creature type, useful gameplay mechanics, and the aesthetic quality of the foil treatment makes it a notable entry in any Scars of Mirrodin collection.

Card Text
Abilities, attacks, oracle text, and flavor text printed on the card.
As long as this creature is equipped, it has first strike and lifelink. (It deals combat damage before creatures without first strike. Damage dealt by it also causes you to gain that much life.)
Left without their leader Raksha, the leonin split into two prides: one side supported the regent kha, while the other rebelled in fury.
