Elspeth, Storm Slayer

Description

Designed by Ekaterina Burmak, this promotional card carries the set code PTDM and features a mana cost of {3}{W}{W} with a mana value of 5. As a legendary Elspeth planeswalker, she brings a distinct mechanical identity to the table, focusing heavily on token creation and battlefield control. The card’s static ability fundamentally alters how tokens are generated under your control; if one or more tokens would be created, twice that number is produced instead. This doubling effect synergizes with her +1 ability, which creates a 1/1 white Soldier creature token, allowing players to rapidly build an army of loyal defenders. Her 0 ability enhances this force by putting a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control and granting them flying until your next turn, turning a modest board presence into an aerial threat. Defensively, Elspeth offers a potent removal option via her −3 ability, which destroys a target creature an opponent controls with a mana value of 3 or greater. This capability makes her a valuable asset in controlling the game state against high-value threats. Collectors seeking to complete the Tarkir: Dragonstorm Promos checklist will find this card essential, particularly those interested in the Elspeth archetype or the white color identity. The card’s status as a Mythic Rare promo adds to its desirability among enthusiasts of Magic: The Gathering trading card game collectibles, offering a unique piece for those who appreciate both the gameplay mechanics and the promotional nature of the release.
