Black Market Tycoon

Description

The Black Market Tycoon stands as a distinct piece of Magic: The Gathering lore, originating from the 2022 Streets of New Capenna expansion. As card number 434 in the set, this Rare foil creature embodies the gritty, criminal underworld aesthetic that defines the series. Designed by artist Brock Grossman, the card features a Cat Rogue with a mana cost of {R}{G}, making it a versatile addition to decks seeking red and green mana integration. For collectors, this card offers both narrative and mechanical interest. The foil treatment adds a layer of visual appeal, distinguishing it within the broader catalog of Magic cards. The creature’s abilities are particularly noteworthy for players who enjoy resource management strategies. At the beginning of your upkeep, the Tycoon demands a toll of 2 damage for every Treasure token you control. In exchange, it offers significant utility: tapping it allows you to create a new Treasure token, effectively fueling your own engine. This dynamic creates a compelling risk-reward loop that appeals to both strategic players and completionists. Whether you are building a themed deck around Treasure generation or simply expanding your library with unique creature cards, the Black Market Tycoon provides a tangible connection to the rich storytelling of the New Capenna universe. Its status as a rare card within the Streets of New Capenna set further enhances its collectibility for those looking to diversify their holdings with high-quality, mechanically interesting pieces.
