Ridge Rannet

Description

Released as card number 111, this foil version of the card offers collectors a distinct visual appeal compared to its non-foil counterparts. Illustrated by Jim Murray, the card depicts a powerful Beast with a mana cost of five generic and two red mana, resulting in a mana value of seven. In gameplay, Ridge Rannet enters the battlefield as a 6/4 creature, providing significant presence on the board for red-based strategies. Its key mechanical feature is the cycling ability, which allows players to discard the card for two mana to draw a new card, offering flexibility in hand management. For collectors focusing on the Shards of Alara set, acquiring the foil variant of Ridge Rannet adds a premium touch to their collection. The card's identity as a common foil from this era makes it a staple for those building complete sets or seeking high-quality examples of Magic's mid-2000s design language. Whether used for gameplay or display, this Magic: The Gathering card represents a specific moment in the game's history.
