Fungusaur

Description

Fungusaur (Summer Magic / Edgar 197) is a Green rare creature card from the 1994 Magic: The Gathering expansion known as Summer Magic / Edgar. Illustrated by Daniel Gelon, this card depicts a Fungus Dinosaur with a mana cost of {3}{G} and a power/toughness of 2/2. As a rare card in its set, it holds a distinct place in the history of early Magic: The Gathering releases. The card features a unique triggered ability: whenever Fungusaur is dealt damage, it receives a +1/+1 counter. This mechanic allows the creature to grow in strength during gameplay, reflecting its biological nature as a fungus-dinosaur hybrid. The flavor text adds depth to the creature's lore, describing a harsh survival strategy where the female Fungusaur injures her offspring to ensure their rapid growth. Collectors who appreciate the early days of the game often seek out cards from the Summer Magic / Edgar set due to its limited availability and historical significance. Including this card in a collection offers a tangible connection to the foundational era of Magic: The Gathering trading cards.
