Description
The Lightning Elemental foil from Magic: The Gathering's Seventh Edition stands as a staple for collectors of early 2000s trading card game cards. Released in 2001, this Common rarity card from the 7ED set carries the distinctive Red Foil treatment that elevates it beyond standard print runs. As a Creature — Elemental with a mana cost of {3}{R}, it is defined by its Haste ability, allowing it to attack or activate abilities immediately upon entering the battlefield. This mechanical identity makes it a functional piece of Magic history, even as it serves a primary role in completing set collections. For enthusiasts of Magic: The Gathering, the Seventh Edition release represents a pivotal era in the franchise's design evolution. Collectors often target specific card numbers, such as 201★, to complete their sets with precision. The foil version of Lightning Elemental is particularly valued for its visual appeal and the enduring popularity of Kev Walker's artwork.
