Description
Pallimud, designated as card number 195, originates from the Tempest expansion released by Wizards of the Coast in 1997. As a creature of the Beast type, this card presents a unique tactical challenge for opponents. Its power is not fixed; instead, it scales dynamically to match the number of tapped lands controlled by a chosen adversary upon entry to the battlefield. This mechanic makes Pallimud a versatile tool for controlling the game state, particularly in environments where land acceleration is common. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering often seek out cards from the Tempest set due to their historical significance in the game's early design evolution. Pallimud stands out for its simple yet potent ability to shift momentum based on board position. For investors and hobbyists alike, the Tempest series remains a cornerstone of the hobby, with each card offering a piece of gaming history. Whether you are building a complete set or targeting specific strategic pieces, Pallimud offers a compelling addition to any collection.
