Bone Miser

Description

The Bone Miser card number 97 from Magic: The Gathering's 2025 Special Guests set establishes itself as a potent artifact for collectors and players alike. Created by artist Jay Howell, the piece captures the essence of the Special Guests theme, offering a tangible connection to this 2025 release. From a gameplay perspective, the Bone Miser functions as a versatile Creature — Zombie Wizard with a mana cost of {4}{B} and a mana value of 5. Its abilities are tightly focused on the discard strategy, rewarding players for moving cards from their hand to the graveyard. Whenever a creature card is discarded, the card creates a 2/2 black Zombie creature token. If a land card is discarded instead, it provides {B}{B} mana. For noncreature, nonland cards, it allows the player to draw a card. This trichotomy of effects makes it a flexible engine for various deck archetypes that utilize discard synergies. For the collector, the foil treatment adds significant aesthetic value, reflecting light differently than the nonfoil versions typically found in booster packs. Whether you are building a competitive deck or expanding your graveyard-focused collection, this Mythic Rare offers both mechanical depth and collectible appeal.
