Shineshadow Snarl

Description

The Shineshadow Snarl (272s) foil promo card belongs to the Strixhaven: School of Mages Promos release for Magic: The Gathering, published in 2021. Printed by Wizards of the Coast, this card number identifies it as a promotional land card featuring a foil finish. The artwork is credited to Sam Burley, who provided the visual design for this subset of the Strixhaven expansion. In gameplay, Shineshadow Snarl functions as a dual land with a black and white color identity. Its mana value is zero, allowing it to be played on the very first turn if a player draws it. The card’s ability allows the controller to enter the battlefield untapped by revealing a Plains or Swamp from their hand; without that action, it enters the battlefield tapped. Once in play, tapping the land produces either one white mana or one black mana, providing essential flexibility for multi-color decks. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering trading cards often target promo variants for their distinct foil treatments and specific distribution methods. This Shineshadow Snarl is a foil promo card (272s) from the 2021 Strixhaven: School of Mages Promos set. The combination of its mechanical utility as a dual land and its status as a foil promo from the Strixhaven era makes it a relevant addition to any serious Magic collection.
