Soul Swallower

Description

The Soul Swallower stands as a formidable Creature — Wurm within the Magic: The Gathering trading card game landscape. Released in 2016 as part of the Shadows over Innistrad Promos set, this card carries the unique identifier 230s. It features a foil finish that enhances its visual appeal for collectors who appreciate the tactile and aesthetic qualities of premium print treatments. Designed by Marco Nelor, the card embodies the dark gothic atmosphere characteristic of the Innistrad plane. In gameplay, the Soul Swallower brings strategic depth with its delirium ability. If a player has four or more card types among cards in their graveyard, the creature receives three +1/+1 counters at the beginning of their upkeep. This mechanic rewards graveyard-heavy strategies, making it a compelling addition for decks focused on recursion or discard effects. The card’s mana cost of {2}{G}{G} and power/toughness of 3/3 provide a solid early-to-mid game presence. For collectors, the Shadows over Innistrad Promos set offers a distinct niche within the broader Magic: The Gathering hobby. The 230s designation marks it as a specific promotional variant, separate from the main set distribution. Owning this foil version allows enthusiasts to complete specialized subsets or showcase high-quality promotional artifacts. Whether building a thematic collection around Innistrad or focusing on rare promo cards, the Soul Swallower represents a significant piece of Magic history.
