Ziatora's Envoy

Description

Ziatora's Envoy (232p) stands as a notable foil promo from the 2022 Streets of New Capenna Promos set for Magic: The Gathering. As a Rare card, this release captures the attention of collectors seeking unique variants beyond standard expansion sets. The card features artwork by Tuan Duong Chu, adding visual appeal to its collectible status. From a gameplay perspective, Ziatora's Envoy is a Creature — Lizard Warrior with a mana cost of {1}{B}{R}{G} and a mana value of 4. It possesses 5 power and 4 toughness, making it a resilient presence on the battlefield. The card includes the Trample ability, allowing excess combat damage to bypass blockers. Its most distinctive feature is a triggered effect: whenever it deals combat damage to a player, you may look at the top card of your library. You can then play a land from the top of your library or cast a spell with a mana value less than or equal to the damage dealt, without paying its mana cost. If you choose not to, that card is placed into your hand. Additionally, the card offers a Blitz option for {2}{B}{R}{G}, providing strategic flexibility during early turns. Collectors often value this card for its foil finish and its role in the Streets of New Capenna Promos series. The combination of its Lizard Warrior type and powerful card advantage mechanics makes it a standout piece for those building themed collections or enhancing their Magic: The Gathering library.
