Throat Slitter

Description

The 2026 Secret Lair Drop introduces the Throat Slitter, a Rare foil card that brings a unique flavor to the Magic: The Gathering universe. Illustrated by Kevin Eastman, this card depicts a Creature — Rat Ninja with a mana cost of {4}{B} and a mana value of 5. Mechanically, the Throat Slitter offers aggressive gameplay potential.
