Description
The Hound of the Farbogs occupies card number 117 in the 2016 Shadows over Innistrad expansion, serving as a compelling addition for Magic: The Gathering collectors. As a five-mana Zombie Dog creature, it brings a unique type combination to the table, allowing players to leverage its distinct abilities during gameplay. The card’s strategic value centers on the Delirium mechanic, which activates when four or more different card types are present in a player’s graveyard. When this condition is met, the creature gains menace, a defensive keyword that forces opponents to block it with two or more creatures or suffer combat damage directly. This interplay between graveyard management and board control makes it a favorite among players who enjoy resource-intensive strategies. Collectors often seek out the foil variant of this card for its aesthetic appeal and the way it highlights the dark, gothic art style characteristic of the Shadows over Innistrad era. The metallic finish catches the light differently than nonfoil versions, offering a tactile and visual distinction that enhances its display value. Whether you are building a collection of specific set foils or hunting for high-quality copies of this creature card, this version stands out for its craftsmanship. By focusing on catalog-level details like card number, set origin, and finish type, we help you identify the exact piece you are looking for.
