Description
Released in 2003 as part of the Scourge set, Mercurial Kite is a blue Bird creature card identified by card number 39 in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. This Common card carries a mana cost of three generic mana and one blue mana, resulting in a mana value of four. As a 2/2 creature, Mercurial Kite possesses the Flying ability, allowing it to evade most ground-based blockers. Beyond its flight, the card offers a strategic advantage: whenever it deals combat damage to a creature, the target creature is tapped and does not untap during its controller’s next untap step. This mechanic provides collectors and players with a reliable tool for controlling the battlefield. The foil treatment adds a distinct visual appeal to this 2003 release, making it a desirable addition for those building specialized collections or seeking complete Scourge sets. Illustrated by Richard Sardinha, the card captures the essence of the game’s early 2000s design language. Whether you are a long-time Magic: The Gathering enthusiast or a newer collector exploring the Scourge era, this foil card represents a solid piece of the game's history.
