Anafenza, Unyielding Lineage

Description

Anafenza, Unyielding Lineage serves as the second card in the 2025 Tarkir: Dragonstorm expansion for Magic: The Gathering. As a Legendary Creature of the Spirit Soldier subtype, this card is defined by its distinct white mana identity and foil finish, which gives it a premium presence in any collection. The card number 2 designation makes it a foundational piece for collectors organizing by set order. The gameplay mechanics of Anafenza center on resilience and adaptability. Possessing Flash allows this creature to be played at instant speed, providing strategic flexibility during critical moments. Combined with First Strike, it can deal damage before opponents can counter its presence. The card’s most notable feature is its endurance mechanic: whenever another non-token creature you control dies, Anafenza endures by either gaining two +1/+1 counters or creating a 2/2 white Spirit creature token. This duality allows players to choose between making the creature larger or generating board presence, depending on the needs of the match. For collectors, the TDM set code identifies this release within the broader Tarkir: Dragonstorm series. The foil treatment adds visual appeal, making it a desirable addition for those who appreciate the aesthetic of premium card finishes. Whether you are building a themed deck around surviving adversity or simply expanding your Magic: The Gathering library, this card offers both mechanical depth and collectible value.
