Description
Released in 1999, the Hulking Ogre (Card #108) stands as a foundational piece of the Magic: The Gathering Starter set.

Collectors value this card for its historical significance in early Magic sets and its recognizable artwork. For investors and hobbyists, the Hulking Ogre represents a tangible piece of gaming history, bridging the gap between casual play and strategic depth.
